Gary,

It's interesting that you should mention Ansel Adams in connection with MC
lens. Most of his best work, especially the B&W stuff, was done long before
MC lens had even been thought of. I guess another example of it taint the
equipment, but the photographer. Does this mean I shouldn't trade all my
non-MC lenses in and perhaps should practice more instead? Hmmmmmmmm.

Regards,
John
