Given that equipment can degrade with use, I'm still in search of objective confirmation of my subjective sense of the performance of my specific equipment. --- Then, if I were you, I would send my equipment to a trusted technician. I would ask them to re-spec my equipment. If you are using Leica, Rollei, mechanical Nikon or mechanical Canon or the like, then they are adjustable back to factory specification. Three Technicians I would trust are Ken Ruth, DAG, and Sherry Krauter. There are others. If, as you say, you have been a professional photographer for that long, then none of this is news to you. I still say the subjective response is the only one necessary. Often I have spent big bucks on really impressively specified equipment, only to find that I hated the pictures, or it did not fit my hand, or it was too light or too heavy. Only you can answer these questions about your equipment. Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com Natchitoches, Louisiana Oldest continuous settlement in La Louisiane ?galit?, libert?, crawfish
