Took this today with my backup ist*D. My K10D is still a guest at the Pentax laboratory. The ole' iist*D body still works pretty good despite it's sluggish performance. Shot with the FA*300 f/4.5 in RAW, ISO 1600, f/8 @ 1/750. Processed then ran NR on it......cheers....Don

Don, that is fantastic. Where were you standing to get such and interesting shot? Not often you can shoot down on an eagle!

I suspose this is the best you could hope for shooting with an old camera.

Better luck next time....

Only joking - it is a very impressive shot. Really have to have the key elements - a great subject and someone with talent.

The tools for the job are largely secondary.
