Hi Alan,

First at all thank you for your always kind recommendations, the  
portrait of Hank is a great photo, maybe at F2 is not on his best but  
at 2,8 are superb.

I continue with my thoughts..., I recognise I have an special  
affection for the Angenieux if I can get one not too expensive, anyway  
this is not an urgent need for me, I can see and wait...

Saludos cordiales
Lluis
