Hello Henning,
It is a lovely morning here too, but cold. Ginni is working the early 
shift at the homeless charity in Oxford today and Sheenagh is on 
holiday at Kirsty's so I am doing e-mails in peace & quiet! This is the 
first weekend home this month.
I was listening to Jaques Brel LPs on Thursday! What a coincidence.

I have often thought the saturated films look impressive but inaccurate 
in the same way as the old boom & tizz (loudness) buttons used to make 
the sound impressive but inaccurate.

Almost on topic, I may get round to comparing my old 400 & 560 f6.8 
lenses with my new C*non 500 today. The 280 f2.8 did not come off 
better, the boke in particular being harsher - not good in a tele lens 
where the majority of the frame area is often OOF.
I have no visit planned to Vancouver this year sadly, will you be in 
England again?
all the best Frank
