What's the best way of doing this, Steve ? Should I join the LUG and upload

And, I agree, the images are where it's at.

I 'd love to see some images, so please...send me links, or better send them to
the list.
We are photographers here, as such we take and show/look at photos...
We aren't "digital men", or "film men" . I've used both and still do, but I've
come to believe that the endless discussion of "all that" has become a complete
waste of time, especially in the absence of photographs to look at...
