Hmm.....purely coincidential, right? ;)

Well, I'll probably use some external canister lights anyways, flood-light
type lighting. So it'll just be a matter of color balance, not quantity of
light.

Well, 5-10m is definitely too shallow for what I intend to do. I need a

to exclude most, if not all, current housings for digicams....)
