On the other hand the name: "Llado" is a typical catalan name, when Philippe has visted Barcelona one of the streets I've shoved him was the "Carrer dels Lled?" (Lledo's street), next time you see this person maybe you can ask if he has a Catalan origin. I hope see soon your pictures with your R lenses.
