Thanks, Paul. That courtyard shot was the first exposure of the day on the *ist-D, and practically my introduction to the 16-45 (I'd used one for three or four shots once before, but not really anywhere where that focal length was a lot of use). It's interesting just how often either the first shot or the last shot of the day stands out from the others.
One thing that shot did teach me, though, is that I should get the screen with the extra horizontal and vertical guides. Godfrey had one in his *ist-DS, and I was favourably impressed. [Oh, yes - I'm impressed with the lens, too. The accounting dept. will probably make me wait until my birthday (in May), but there is soon going to be one of those in my bag.
