As has been said many times, DO NOT use the 100 macro on a female friend ;-). As a kind soul, I find an older lens more suited, and here I use the mighty summarex 85. Gentle lighting, colour neg film and the Summarex seem to be a match made in heaven for anyone over 24. Then in the depths of Gormangast castle, how could one hope to capture the gothic beauty and subtle "darkness" without a Noctilux. I could go on, but that would spoil the "newletter" if it ever arrives ;-) Happy new year to all Cheers - -- Alastair Firkin http://www.afirkin.com
