Thanks, Luis. Yes I know you love this lens. I do as well. I'm a  
little under the weather at the moment so I'm just puttering around  
the house. Maybe next week I'll get a chance to shoot more. I have a  
chair in my living room that turns violet when I shoot without the  
filter on the M8. So I just shot the chair. It came out the perfect  
color.

Best Regards,
Len
