    any lens would do i guess.......
    i havent tried much, border fox: f8 so it compensates for shutter being open for so long?

    Any lens should do. Closed aperture, so in my case, I used f/22 for a very long exposure, and ISO 100, in aperture priority.

    I'd love to say it's down to the skill of the photographer, but I'll have to give credit to the Pentax in-body shake reduction. ;)

    Thats pretty cool Duchovny. So i tryed this out last night on a bridge on the M1. Cant post it up as my laptop is sick at mo. Think it looks ok,the cars were going pretty fast,so the trails are very thin.Might try it in town tonight. cheers for repiles..
