(Shooting at an indicated f8) I suspect you need to dig deeper into the Archives. As I recall, the split is around 2/3 positive, 1/3 negative in evaluation of the Komura device, while the FED 2X tele-extender receives around 1/3 positive and 2/3 negative responses. In both case, I would suspect poor QC/QA to have caused the polarization. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bąs fir gun ghrąs fir!
