Over the past fifteen minutes I've been going over the list and had received other input on this issue as you undoubtedly saw and saw my response, those images I felt were quite impressive and has changed my feelings on this lens as your post has added some flavoring. This forum is quite an excellent method for improving ones insight. I am finding the interaction a great thing, I'm glad I learned to type... and read. I just read that the original definition of an idiot: Idiot meant originally a private person, one not engaged in any public office. Hence Jeremy Taylor says, "Humility is a duty in great ones, as well as in idiots" (private persons). The Greeks have the expressions, "a priest or an idiot" (layman), "a poet or an idiot" (prose-writer). As idiots were not employed in public offices, the term became synonymous with incompetency to fulfill the duties thereof. I'm saying as It might not be clear that the intera ction one gets and a good forum such as this one would stop one from being an idiot. Don't take this wrong, I speak for myself here, unless you are an elected official. Thanks Ted, Mark Rabiner
