My tired old eye (only have one and it's giving me a bit of problem) has seen enough for a dozen men and I never stop being amazed at the beauty of the world and appalled by the same. But as long as I can make out what's happening I'll be satisfied to see and enjoy life and whatever it may put before my Leica. Maybe I'll have to pray they come out with some form of auto focus in the future when it gets too difficult to focus the image on the ground glass. Until then it's keep taking pictures for the enjpy ment of shooting evrything that gives me motivation to shoot! :) ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant But it is such an interesting thing this comet and the skies above, particularly if you are out in the country and away from the distracting of city lighting.
