However in some circumstances (eg high contrast, low light environs) the reduction of overall image contrast due to the a lenses natural low contrast when used wide open can be an advantage. :-| Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 Fax +61-2-9554-9259 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours audiob@ozemail.com.au http://www.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications.html
