Hi Jon, Cotty in England here, welcome aboard. It'll be maybe a tiny bit quieter here for a few days this coming week as quite a few listers will be turning up not a million miles from you to Grandfather Mountain. I only have a couple of MXs and a few bits of glass left with Pentax written on them, I went over to the dark digital side almost 2 years ago. This is a really cool list and I'm sure you'll find it very stimulating. Have a good time. Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________
