I'm a sucker for "Mt St Michel" photographs, and would love to be able to shoot it with my 11x14 and the 18mm on an R8. Jim Phong wrote: >>Steve Unsworth >>As the title says.

Steve, I really like "newly-weds on Pont des Arts" too. And I also like "couple in a bar--Montpelier" and the running of the bulls picture. I was curious about the lenses used, particularly in "newly-weds" and "couple in a bar." The out-of-focus rendition seems slightly different in these two. Is there a slight doubling of the "arm" of the light pole in the very back of the newlywed picture? I don't notice the same doubling in the background of the 'couple in bar' picture. But then again, the doubling I think I notice in the newlyweds picture may have nothing to do with the lens and everything to do with panning the camera to keep up with the movement of the newlyweds. Anyway, really nice shots. Tom
