Hi Jaume, As much as I like to fondle gear myself, I find those to bleat on about equipment shortcomings tend to be those who have the least to say photographically. As Rod Serling would say, case in point... http://ricehigh.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html (his only non-test chart photos posted on the web, AFAICS) Equipment news is tomorrow's recycling.
