Pentax K10d This weekend I was able to use one for a few photos. This camera makes taking very difficult photos fun and easy. The deer was about 200 meters away. The far shot is with a 70mm focal length the close with 300. To convert in your head to 35mm film this about a 105 to 450mm or about 9 times closer. This is because the sensor in the DSLR is smaller than 35mm film and has a normal focal length of 28mm. The cropped photo is to show the detail of the hand held photo taken at 1/90th of a second at iso 400. Bill
