Thanks, Fred. Always nice to see that you're still around and to get your comments, as I know how well founded they are. Thanks for the link. I never saw your normal lens resolution page before. Now I've bookmarked it. Looking at some of the figures I notice that your findings may not completely correspond with Yoshihiko's results. Or do they and I'm missing something in interpreting them? (And, if you don't mind the OT - Are you still keeping a close watch on the whales? Can't stop being fascinated by what you told me about them.) Thanks, Lasse
