Thanks. I kind of felt that the black and white brought out the textures more,
but I liked both versions.

Well said Cotty, you just sold a great idea for FREE to Ricoh -

Yes, both post injury. Now that I am a walking/metropassing courier I have my

Hi all
I'm doing a bit of de-cluttering and found a load of my dad's stuff.
His Spotmatics were stolen and he replaced them with a pair of MXs
which I now have. There's the following:
- Spotmatic F user manual
- Spotmatic lenses and accessories brochure
- MX brochure, large
- MX brochure, small
Yup: works for me. The low-contrast yet bright bkgnd really puts the
strongly toned foreground into relief. Great stuff, Frank.
