You're right; I'm getting the peanuts and Scotch as I write this.

Hi Lew,
My instant reaction is....... You've got way too much time on your hands if 
you have to waste time doing this
kind of stuff instead of out shooting or other fun things.

Did it ever occur to you the easal may not be correct? 

I've printed hundreds of thousands of leica frames and full frame always 
seems to be 9X6 or so damn close who
cares!

relax, have a drink and get of the house and shoot some very cool stuff!
