Sure, send me a copy. But make sure it's private email. :-) And it's flawed reasoning that you have to have a 90 or longer to make a portrait, as much as the idea of "portrait" means a specific perspective, cropping and whatever else out there requires a 90mm. You can make portraits with anything from 13mm to 1700mm if you've got the bucks. (In Leica 15mm to 800mm). =========== Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR Retirement: When you quit working just before your heart does.
