Thanks Thomas, Frank, Mike and Jo Ellen! The set and costumes are indeed fabulous, and so are the performances. Really good show! And yes, Thomas, ISO 64,000 would have been lovely. As is, I covered it mainly at ISO 3200, my default these days. By the way, discovered a major problem with my Canon 70-200 f/2.8 image stabilized lens, namely the lens mount screws came loose with less than two years of use. Could be the IS gyro vibration, could be frequent airplane travel vibration, could be all sorts of other reasons, but the bottom line is: the four screws which hold the lens mount to the lens were all about ready to drop out when I discovered the problem because the lens was not tight on the camera body. Got very lucky finding this problem when I did, before any damage took place, and sealed the screws in with my gal's fingernail polish. Had the same problem with the screws which act as guides for the lens mount, with my old 70-200 and this new one. Serious design flaws, both of them! I can easily imagine a scenario where a lens with loose lens mount screws could cause a camera body to get stuck half way between on and off the lens, a disaster which would call for factory service. If you have Canon lenses (IS in particular) check all the screws on them, now!
