You've got way too much time on your hands if you have to waste time doing this kind of stuff instead of out shooting or other fun things. Did it ever occur to you the easal may not be correct? I've printed hundreds of thousands of leica frames and full frame always seems to be 9X6 or so damn close who cares! relax, have a drink and get of the house and shoot some very cool stuff! ted > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
