Sorry, I went through a flood and lost some good books and material. But I'll look around anyway. And when Leica was talking about obsessive cleaning, they meant those people who think three or four "motes" of dust will ruin image quality. Just don't do what a guy in one camera store reported. Said a guy came in with a horrible looking lens, and he asked him how he cleaned it. The guy picked up the lens and licked it. (And I just read all my messages. I'll shut up for a while and listen!) ============= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.
