Anyway, I'm trying to get into a better "swing" again. Thanks for looking at the Arctic images. I would say to those who have any doubts, that the R9 DMR combo was wonderful with the 180 summicron and 2 x converter: BUT I could have used more pulling power in the Arctic. The ease of cleaning the Leica digitals was the envy of all on the boat: It was a GREAT solution and a GREAT shame that it is now dead and buried.

Such beautiful blues! Must also be due to the light, I suppose? Any way, great to see Alastair back on the list with some of his work.
