haha, I actually read an article the other day where a guy did an experiment with several lenses from wide to tele and shot everything at the same aperture setting. What he found was that there wasn't a difference between the lenses but rather the distance the photographer was standing.
I can't remember where the link was but I'll post it. Really interseting. I can't say it's 100% but . . .
Anyway, jakeyj, I think you're either reading your settings backwards or your sensor is fucked. If you open up to 2.8 (in a sunny daylight setting) then you should be able to shoot waaaay higher than 1/25.
But, like HaHa said, lack of light volume is a bitch. I was pondering that the other day . . . I wonder why it is that "science & technology" can't supply a sensor that has a higher sensitivity range. I really wouldn't care if it doesn't match the characteristics of film, I'd rather be able to shoot at 1/125 than 1/30. Although I do get some lovely blur effects by accident.
I also wish that ISO 3200 wasn't so damn noisy. Grain is beautiful, noise is shit. And I haven't seen a "noise removal application" that doesn't completely fuck up my photos.
