<p>Thanks for taking the time to respond.<br>

It looks like an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 for me!</p>

EPSON has developed substantial expertise in the area of microlens arrays. They use them

to "straighten out" randomly oriented light from metal halide lamps in there LCD

projectors. It is why they are so small and bright.

Makes sense to me that they grafted their microlens array onto a CCD and stuck it in a VC

body.

We can only hope!!!!!!!!

I've spent a lot of time with the Tibetans.

You've done a brilliant job of capturing their essence.

I'm shooting in natural light and thought I might try out one of those hand held

digital meters. The Sekonic 308 is appealing since it is small and does

everything I need. My dealer says go for the 358. I'd appreciate your advice.

I disagree 100%. I think it is real service to the brotherhood to

offer items to the group before they are offered to the "rest of the

world."

Don't forget the Hexanon 28/2.8. It has received many rave

reviews.

Can you supply link to the aforementioned thread? I would like to

read it before a make a comment, other than it sounds right on.

Clog up the server!? You've got to be kidding! Hardisk space

costs between one and two dollars a GIGABYTE. A typical thread

takes up at most a few KILOBYTES.

For the mathematically disinclined, a kilobyte is a MILLIONTH of

a gigabyte.
