    <p>Thanks Bill - actually, the third one is a different actress (rather minor supporting role) who spent most of the time on the sidelines...</p>

    <p>Spot-on timing, Bill...just like human teens, noisy and soon bigger than the parents!</p>

    <p>Yawning or roaring, I'm not quite sure, Alex! Good timing!<br> Last month I tried Fujichrome Provia 400X for the first time, and liked it a lot. Expensive film, but the colours are very good for my taste, and it scans a lot more easily than color negative film for me at least. All shots are of Japanese theatre with the ever wonderful nFD 200/2.8 IF, aperture wide open and handheld at 1\250:</p><div></div>

    <p>Thanks Bill - it was actually my 11 y.o. daughter's suggestion, so I'll pass on your thumbs-up to her :)</p>

    <p>That's about as close as that cat and bird should be allowed to get to each other...(both great shots!)<br> Sakura season has come and gone here; only had cloudy weather on my shooting days, so had to focus on details:</p> <div></div>

    <p>Perhaps, Bill, they get equally philosophical when they see you lurking about with an FD lens on a digital body; two dissimilar species but also side x side in harmony :)</p>

    <p>The birds around your place seem to have a lot of personality, Bill, and you capture them great. Do you give them names?</p>

    <p>Nice work, Jim - it's very sculptural; lighting is the key to a shot like this, and I think you nailed it.</p>

    <p>Thanks Gary - the Close Up lens 500 is most likely not anywhere near the same league as a proper FD Macro lens, but is a relatively cheap and certainly compact and lightweight alternative to carry around in the bag, just in case. I have a 72mm version which fits on the 35-105/3.5 and 200/2.8, and use a stepping ring to put it on the 50/1.4, on which it also seems to work fine.</p>

    <p>Enjoy that 20-35, Alex...I've wanted one of those for decades!<br> Apologies, yet another view of Mt Fuji to begin this month:</p> <div></div>

    <p>Scary but certainly magnificent...thanks for sharing these, Bill!</p>

    <p>Well, we are lucky that you share your acorns with us - thanks very much.</p>

    <p>Brilliant shot, Bill.<br> You should seriously consider publishing a book... </p>

    <p>Having bought the FD 20mm over ten years ago, I hardy ever use my cheap FD 28mm any more, so thought I'd take it out to Tokyo Tower recently:</p><div></div>

    <p>Stunning work, Bill, just beautiful.<br> Your shots just get better and better...thanks very much for sharing with us (the envious ones!)</p>
