Dan,
I'm really glad that you like the image. I can say that this is one
of the most emotional experiences I have had taking a picture. Being
so close in time to 9/11 and hearing and seeing the patriotism was
quite moving. I hope that the image somehow conveys what I felt.

If it did there would be no real need for the aperture ring because it

Well that is correct except at the widest setting. If you have a 28-80/4-5.6
lens and set the aperture manually at F4 and zoom from 28 to 80mm you will
end up at F5.6 even if the ring says F4. This is because at the widest
setting the aperture ring is not involved in the actual diaphragm function.
