About the E3 - I was so happy when I got my L1, your cousin camera - at last I could produce results that would tend to get closer to yours - I often think of you when I see wonderful lights , the sea, and rainbows. Africa - a continent that deserves so much better than what it currently gets. I hope you'll be able to cope with the terriible situation some people there are in as Steve said. Bring us back good stuff, the kind of image that will move the world to helping them - they need and deserve so much. Have a nice trip And keep us tuned if you can.
