But those photos of Rei's are the only ones where I've ever noticed the nausealux syndrome. I've spotted the insertus syndrome any time anyone has posted Noct shots where there is a decent amount of foreground in front of the subject, and some depth behind. That, I assume, is simply an optical effect created by the utter lack of depth of field. B. D.

NOW that you guys described it as soon as I look at the OOF areas I need to recline and focus on a fixed object :O I assume this only happens wide open...? - -- John Straus Chicago, IL http://SlideOne.com http://SlideOne.com/EditorsRoom ========================== - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
