Hi Sonny,

These little fellows would be a little cramped for photo work, since they 
only seat two, side-by-side.  But, I guess if there is a will there must be 
a way.  As you said once before, Cubs also work great, they are just slow.

Thanks for the kind words about the shot.  In spite of a Russian lens and a 
Kodak film that I don't like, it still came out fine.
