Kids in the audience or at home may apply that principle here and derive my position regarding the above. Perceiving filter use from prints has to do only with lighting--filters will subtly change flare or ghosting characteristics in some circumstances. - --Mike P.S. Relieved Luggers will be interested to learn that Marc and I have continued our debate over old-vs.-new construction quality in private, at length, in depth, and including verbal sparring as adept as the fencing of any Olympic masters. We are both available to be thanked for "taking it outside" as it were, and not belaboring every slash and parry in full view of the LUG.
