Words/no words - Insider Trading

[ralph_barker]

<p>Lots of trading has taken place inside at the Hubbell Trading Post in

Arizona since the day in 1878 it was purchased by John Hubbell. The

Hubbell family continued to operate the trading post until it was sold

to the National Park Service in 1967. It is now operated by a

non-profit organization, although you'd never tell that from the

current prices of things. I understand that one of the senior clerks

is even named Martha. ;-)</p>

Ralph, some vibrant colours you got there. I see a little vignetting in the 3rd pic. SHould that happen to the 24mm elmarit?

I think what you're seeing, Travis, is the way the window and interior light is hitting the room, rather than vignetting from the lens. The blanket room window is at the far right in the first picture, behind the wagon wheel, and had a single ceiling lamp in the center of the room. I've not noticed any vignetting with the 24mm Elmarit-M in other images.
