It's just a great photographic instrument. And the best images aren't always the sharpest. Reading all the comments about Photoshop I pulled up an image that I spent all of 10 minutes tweaking in PS (did not crop, however). It much improved the original image, which was pretty boring. Not that this is too thrilling, but it definately is an improvement, and it's kind of growing on me. Sadly, I think I'm beginning to apply PS fx mentally as I look through the viewfinder sometimes. Oh, the heresy! The original, btw, was shot with a Leica M and 50/1.4 Summilux. Film was Kodak E100VS scanned on an LS-30. The original was razer sharp, but it looked too sterile. Again, sharpness isn't everything. http://www.lightcurves.com/images/modsculp.jpg Dave
