Count me in for your seminar too.  I just did Mr. Grant's seminar on the
Cape and I go to Canada every year to visit Montreal.

Hi Clif,

Thanks  for the comments. I see no reason to change to any other version.
Af far as I can tell, the camera is just a tool and too much is made of it.
I have a friend who photographs with a plastic "Diana" camera that cost all
of $5.00. He uses it to to its limits and produces art prints that utilise
the faults of the plastic lens to give this beautiful sharp/unsharp image
with a look I couldn't even get with Photoshop. He has won National Awards
with it while his wife does the same thing with a shoebox as a pinhole
camera.

BTW, get a bunch of mates together to get me there and I'll do a seminar
for you. Haven't been to Canada since 1977.

Rob
