I have just   proved to my satisfaction that it may all be in the eye of
the beholder. Following a cataract removal from the left eye recently, I
find to my amazement and pleasure that whites look like snow rather than
cream. I had forgotten that.  The unmodernised right eye still sees a warm,
Victorian, world lit by paraffin lamps.  Very attractive, too.  Another
plus is that I can now use the left eye to assess in advance the effect of
using Kodachrome, and the right eye for, say, Velvia.  (Advance apologies
if I have selected the wrong films - just put in the names that work for
you).

Every cloud has a silver or gold lining.

Regards.
