Well Ted if your into into filter as I recall your not you're have just put
that info in the back burner and forgot about it.

I lived playing with filters mainly in black and white but now the the
digital it goes in one ear out the other.

I don't need a filter I AM a filter.

I got a 14 2.8 which you can put cut gels in the back.
 in the old days I would a cared and tired to finger it out and play with
it. In the now new days I just could care.
Maybe stick an acetate with some Chinese writing and see how they call come
out.
