As an engineer myself, I must say those words are high praise indeed! :-) Actually, just last week I was admiring for quite some time the photo of the Bronica and lens that appeared in _Shutterbug_. The more I studied it, the more I realized how well it was lighted - the light really brought out the shapes and features. Also, there were several nice subtleties - such as how the rim of the lens (on the body) was shot at an angle so as to make the front glass element just meet it at a tangent - very elegant. In fact, I looked for the photographer's name and was surprised not to find any credit given. - -Dave
