just received this from Katz Eye:
So, would anyone like to speak up and argue either that a Katz-eye
will change my life and pictures dramatically for the better, or that

Yes your photos will rival those of Henry Carter Benson and Ansel
Adams. Not only will it help you find photographic fame and fortune, it
will remove the crabgrass from you lawn, regrow your hair, and
reinvigorate your love life.
