OK Jim, I didn?t realize it was the trusted Oly 50-200 you used. Woulldn?t 
have worked on a fuji of course. Had thought it was an older manual lens you 
were using. MY BAD, sorry.

The photo remains wonderful but for the background artefacts :-)

Keep them coming. 

Amities

Philippe, with so little time on his hands to take cameras in hand, but who 
enjoys other listers' postings :-)
