Thank you Jay! I agree with you and I still have to learn to improve some 
aspects, on other aspects, the same comment I?ve just sent to John ?... the 
highlights sow better with film, even the contrasts are a little better with 
film I think, but as you say, these points can be solved or improved with 
exposure and process.?

Cheers
Lluis
