Pray, don't be so petty.  I haven't a clue why you keep raising this.

While I have done professional photography on and off for the past decade,
I am not so regularly employed.  Hence, my photographic work is my own and
not for general distribution.  (Though, if you wish, come by my office in
Roanoke, Virginia, and I'll be glad to show you a bunch of it, mainly
mounted on my walls.)  I have done a couple of CD covers for a Jazz group
and have done some shots to accompany a DOWNBEAT article on Royce Campbell,
as well as other shots of local Jazz groups which have been run in my local
newspaper and in a local-affairs magazine.

I do a fair amount of photography.  If you will check the archives, you
will find that I do my own darkroom work, that I have a Beseler 23 C-II
with a 2.8/50 APO-Rodagon and a 4/80 APO-Rodagon and a Leitz V35 with the
standard 2.8/40 Focatar, that I process my own black and white stuff and,
when I am not overwhelmed by the vapors, my own C-41, RA-4, and Ilfochrome
stuff.  

I realize BD seems to object to condsidering this sort of thing
"photography" for undisclosed reasons but, as I am a student of camera
lore, much of my photography is of cameras and related gear.  You can see
one of my pictures of such on the bottom of page 9 of the current
VIEWFINDER.  Others are available in my several articles in VIEWFINDER and
the JOURNAL OF THE ZEISS HISTORICA SOCIETY.  And, then, there are a bunch
of shots I made in my two books, NON-LEITZ LEICA THREAD-MOUNT LENSES:  A
39mm DIVERSITY and THE ZEISS COMPENDIUM (co-authored with Charlie
Barringer).  Finally, if you want a current example of my photography,
check out http://www.camerabooks.com

For your purposes, it IS a good thing that I am a student of camera gear,
so that I could answer your rather simplistic query over on the Hasselblad
List about Luminars.  Some of the pictures referenced above with shot with
Luminars or Photars.

Now, kindly, back off, or take this off-List.
