When I post something I have worked hard at and am pleased with it often sinks without trace or no-one is much impressed. When I post something for fun it gets attention as though it was a serious photo effort ;-) Just for you and Gene then, I'll make a BW version and show you. That OT lens and camera are sharp enough and the system works well enough anyway. Just wait until I get my M typ 240 and I will make some pixel peeping eyes happy with direct comparisons ;-) Cheers, Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 16 November 2012 16:47, Nathan Wajsman <photo at frozenlight.eu> wrote: > Actually, Geoff, I think that those very vivid colours might also make an > interesting translation into B&W.
