B.D.'s images all showed his usual great eye, but many were lessened by the glow that his sample provides. For some specific images that would be a great look, say the bride and groom at the altar. I still stand by my comments that his lens needs looking at, more so now that I realize his sample is an older OM lens and not some new fast telephoto for the 4/3's system. I suspect if he has it cleaned and collimated he would have a far better electron cutting optic than he now has.
