For example the stained glass. Get the exposure right with a P&S. Or my night football. Or any of the other pictures that require lenses of 2.8 at 300mm, or anything else. But you are right in the main point of image quality on the web. It doesn't show the potential that Leica produces. But then we can get too obsessive about minutia of image quality and miss the "real" message the picture offers. And it's mostly for that reason I put my pictures on the web. Anyone who doesn't think that isn't the MAIN point to a photograph, well, I'm not interested in their opinion. In model railroad parlance, they're called rivet counters. They miss the main point of the effect that a modeler is trying to portray in seeing if the model is has 49 instead of 50 rivets. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch We can never be born enough.
