[Leica] IMG: Even more Hoppy in Barcelona

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Thanks again, Pablo. You can navigate to the Sitges and Amsterdam galleries 
here

You're right on the monitor. Print is my primary aim, but also for web to 
share with my LUG friends. I need to adjust my web output
some. The Eizo monitor I want costs as much as good Leica glass! On glass, I 
just ordered a 21mm from Hong Kong. The new compact
Zeiss Biogon one. I have another trip to somewhere extremely scenic soon. I 
love to do landscape type stuff as well. I can't wait. I
do have a good amount of camera gear, but I am shooting it a lot. I can't 
keep up with processing and scanning at the moment.

Cheers
Geoff

Hoppy, 

I saw your pictures and I liked them, didn't comment though, shame on me.
Sorry. 
Will be going for your Amsterdam gallery later, hope not to forget later to
be back to you with comments, but I'm not very a good guy at that, I hope
you understand it. But I'll try to get better. Promise.

As for monitors, calibration and the likes, this is so much already
discussed in so many many lists that I wouldn't even bother. You just get it
calibrated for whatever your main process is about, printing, making jpegs
for the web... whatever, and just stay cool. In other words, it's good what
it works better for you and understandable if that doesn't work for others.

Now if you were so kind to give a link to your Amsterdam gallery I'll
appreciate it... 

And as for spending money on more glasses, what can I say ?
You better go get them and make some light to strike film through them
Don't forget saving some funds for your family. <grin>

Pablo
