Ken,

Thank you for your opinion.

About your comment I want comment that I?m not agree about the use of the 
term ?like? in art, IMHO art is always subjective and nobody can affirm that 
such work is better than another, at least I never say this, I always say ?I 
like more this one?, even in the case that somebody says ?this is the best 
xx?.? I absolutely dislike such strong affirmations, somebody can say ?I 
prefer ?? or ?I like better??.

About the MM, I agree what John says and I would add too some words that 
Tina has said long time ago, with the MM your mentality is directly focused 
in B&W, it is like have a B&W film, on the other hand the grey tones and 
dynamic range is more extended

Cheers
Lluis
