Or the next thing I know she'll be showing me material she did and end up being my teacher. :-) Then I'd have three women on my case and trust me, the two here don't need any help, they keep me inline fairly well! ;-) Actually the film I shot using the SF20 looked quite good in negative form to be printed later today. Although I haven't used colour, I did B&W in both the R8 and M6 as straight flash pictures. As usual, I haven't spent enough time in the "fill mode" which will be corrected shortly and probably where I'd use it most. So there you go eh? After 51 years you never stop learning the magic of photography. ;-) There's always something new and exciting around the corner. I suppose some form of digital camera will be next. ;-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
