george2;
george1 here. Hmmm. my 4T takes great low-lite pix. It maxes out at 3 minutes
exposure time (with ASA 100 film). I'm curious, when yours does this, what do
the
results look like? Way under? What is the lighting like? What f/stop are u
using? Example of a pretty good exposure in my experience would be: subject
lit
by full moon, about 2 minutes at F/2. If your lens is closed down much more
than
that, there isn't enuf lite for the shot.
