Photo No 2 is an experiment for me, and I guess I want it to work too much to assess it objectively myself. The outdoors photos were taken the D30 (little and inferior brother of D60) with a Leica lens. Manual focus on the D30 is taxing for my eyes, to say the least. I tried the R8 at the Hunt's Photo show for the umpteenth time last Sunday, and drool for the viewfinder clarity. Oh well. - - Phong On Wed, 13 Nov 2002 12:37:32 -0500 bdcolen <bdcolen@earthlink.net> wrote: > Okay, Phong - You asked... > I like the main: http://www.pbase.com/image/7255136 > nice composition, color, detail.
