Heck that's a waste burning them, we use them as drink coasters for our single malt scotch. :-) (A really really big smiley here.) :-) I did, on one occasion shoot an assignment with a body and one lens and I was as surprised as all git out it was possible. :-) I did however feel naked and damn near fell off a building trying for a wider angle when I stepped back. It's OK Feli I'm completely changing my style to a new modern mode, going slower and lighter with my Digilux 2 complete with it's fully attached Leica 28mm - 90mm f 2.0 zoom lens. ;-) Besides using the 28-90 zoom it eliminates 3 cameras right there. ;-) This major discussion on a digital M with all the ramifications has been and is interesting simply because we might as well be discussing happenings on the dark side of Mars for all we truly know. I figure if we put the time taken to type all this stuff, we collectively could've shot a photographic encyclopaedia on wild boars in Borneo. :-) But, maybe? In a month we might, just might be surprised. ;-) Only the Shadow knows. ;-) ted
