 Hi Acer, I hope my post didn't stuffy or
condesending, I certenly didn't mean it that way. Your
enthusasim for photography has always been enjoyable
to watch grow. I wasen't replying to your post but to
the general topic under discussion. I also agree it's
good to know how to get the best performance out of
our OM cameras.   clear skys   John Robison
