Thanks, Walt. The wikipedia piece clarifies it a lot. As I said, interesting.

Looks like a great opportunity for some interesting, even fascinating, shooting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
