Thank you, Ted.  You know, I learned most of what I know about
photography by listening to a number of men and women just like you...it
was the best education I could have had.

Right on Buzz and there isn't any better advice for everyone than right
there.

Anyone who has concerns about everything perfect within the framelines
whos'
shooting with an M and being right on the mark dead serious with a 21 or
wider through a viewfinder attached to the hot shoe might as well forget
absolute accuracy! Hell man it's a myth!

An SLR is the only answer to that accuracy!

Great answer Buzz for whomever "Fast_Primes" is.

By the way Fast_Primes, if you'll excuse me, do you have a real name?
I'm
sure you're aware we on this LUG do correspond in real life names. Thank
you.
