Very nice. Wanna trade? I have an F 50/1.7, a stretchy neck strap, three rolls of film, and a flash to be named later... Seriously, the even lighting is very successfully done. Any Photoshopping - drop-shadows or erasure of background? Also, what exactly is the "low-temperature tungsten lighting" you mention? I am looking for lighting options to outfit a plate examination area at work - high-ceiling (28 ft), open area about 30 x 30 feet, money no object (up to a few thousand) for lighting... BTW, at Medium size, each letter of PENTAX-A and FISH-EYE are outlined by artifacts. Sharpening halo, unavoidable at low resolutions, maybe? -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com
