Thanks Bob. Once again proving one is never to old to learn! And even though we on occasion in LUG world bark at each other, I'm constantly learning so many things that after 50 plus years shooting you'd think one knew it all or would've heard it all. Never!! Ever! Never!!! Love this place for the incredible learning experiences we have, not just Leica's and photography but so many other aspects of life. Tomorrow it's to the plumbing shop with shoulder brace in hand looking for the foam tubing! :-) Thanks once again for a great idea. :-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
