I wasn't asking the question about toys, or what alligator treatment I should cover my camera with, it was asking those who see a difference in a painters palette, what their observations were. but the very question might be the difference between a photojournalist type versus an admitted quiche eater like myself. - -kim who also can taste the difference in various cheese, chocolate and wine as well. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
