I'll try and have a go at it this weekend. But it does bring up a problem. With the Heliar essentially a single-aperture lens (f/5.6), and already shooting with Acros at ISO 100, I was shooting at 1/250-1/500. Perhaps if I pulled the Acros to ISO 40 and shot at f/8-f/11, the vignetting would still be acceptable? Then I'd be shooting at 1/30-1/60.

Cheap, reliable transportation, although often what blew out the tailpipe looked like the efflux from a small steel mill! When Keith pulled up in this car, It did bring back memories! BTW, Sorry I couldn't fit the Chinatown LALUG get-together into my schedule, but I would look forward to a follow-up shoot at the Long Beach Aquarium. And to all who took time to view my images and offer comments, my sincere thanks. Best, Ira Silverman - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
