Very nice.

I hope you told the Nikon boys that a boat and a 50mm lens would afford a

Thanks, Malcolm!  Glad you enjoyed it.

Your comment about the Nikon boys got me to thinking that if camera
companies made airplanes...

This would be Nikon:  Rock steady, reliable, does the job, maybe not

Leica:  Old technology to be sure, but elegant, compact, expensive,
supremely good at what it's designed for;  a true thoroughbred:

Canon:  Cutting edge technology, blows the hell out of anything that
gets in the way:

Pentax:  'Nuff said:
