Message: <blockquote data-quote="davem" data-source="post: 1777263" data-attributes="member: 29069">I went down the 1D route and took her out last weekend to do a bit of familiarisation... Was shooting a couple of local Whoopers from the car (til some **** got out of the car and stood on the verge to photograph them - but that's by the by) and it chewed me up and spat me out the other end - as you've already used a 1D2 it shouldn't be a problem - but I now know it certainly can't be used as I would have used the 40D, dialling in the same settings as I'd have done with the 40D for the swans showed me just that (Centre Weighted Average metering / one shot AF) - the green of the field was a bit off and the swans were totally blown out - maybe I should just stick to aircraft and horses (which was what I bought it for!)  :-OATB,Dave.</blockquote>
