Right on Buzz and there isn't any better advice for everyone than right
there.

Anyone who has concerns about everything perfect within the framelines whos'
shooting with an M and being right on the mark dead serious with a 21 or
wider through a viewfinder attached to the hot shoe might as well forget
absolute accuracy! Hell man it's a myth!

An SLR is the only answer to that accuracy!

Great answer Buzz for whomever "Fast_Primes" is.

By the way Fast_Primes, if you'll excuse me, do you have a real name? I'm
sure you're aware we on this LUG do correspond in real life names. Thank
you.
