It's an effort thing. If one is going to do a lot of something, learn how to do it properly and save yourself a heap of time, money and all sorts of other things in the long run. Take a few seconds to properly assess a scene and expose the image "properly" or spend a long time gazing at and fiddling with phosphor dots? No competition in my book, even allowing that it might take some time to learn the assessment process. mike the idle > > > Rob Studdert > HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA > Tel +61-2-9554-4110 > UTC(GMT) +10 Hours > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ > Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 > > ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information
