For years it was a Super Program with an A50/1.4 and the M85/2 and M35/2 in a
fanny pack with some film... went everywhere and was throughly enjoyable in
most light. I still take this kit, substituting an LX for the Super Program,
over any zoom outfit. It's just too fast and handy for the zoo

Bill,
The Out Front shot was done on Kodak 100VS.
I examined the original "Out Back" slide and the bright spot in there is not quite as
pronounced, so you can consider that a scanner inconsistency. I may try to rescan it
to see if I can get it better.

Thanks, I like that photo too. I'm also a big fan of splash pages.

Mark, I'm especially proud of "Irvinton Parlor," because I also designed and set up
that display to take advantage of the excellent natural lighting in the parlor.
Thanks,
Doug

Thanks, Anand. I don't mean I'm going to stop taking these photos, just that I need to
get back to business and get a serious site going for my portrait work.

Hi Frank, Mark and JCO,
Just picked a couple of photography books in a junk store on Nelson Street,
Vancouver. They are Michael Freeman's 'The Manual of Outdoor Photography'
and 'The Manual of Indoor Photography', and cost me $5CDN each, so I'm
pleased.
I started reading the outdoor photography,

No way. I tried the 5.5X Pentax too. It was good, but not as well as the
Schneider 4X MC.
>I find the magnification sufficient, and I don't get eyestrain.
This could be a problem with the Schneider 4X.

My main kit is similar:
MZ-S or LX, FA24/2, M50/1.4 and 85/1.8
Seems to cover most of my needs.
Although i'm going on a trip in about a month and am having heaps of trouble
on what to take.
Regards,
Paul

Sorry for the delay. I've been busy traveling and am finally with
