Jayanand

Thanks for the explanation of your working methods which certainly produces 
very good b&w results. I am intrigued why you work in Silver Efex Pro within 
Photoshop and not straight from LRCC. Is it because you do ther adjustments 
within PSCC?

I looked at the price of the 85mm f1.8 out of interest, and it certainly 
shows that we pay a high price for the pleasure of working with Leica glass.

Kind regards

Gerry
