[LRflex] WAS Spix - now Empty hall at the ready, Sir!

Hi David and Howard,
FYI: The L1 cannot shoot without JPEG - I don't know about the D3 
though. Xavier will let us know.

Thanks for all your tips, I'm sure the hall is not that empty and some 
Flexers duly use the precious information dedicated members and 
"zoo-keeprs" provide for our benifit and pleasure

Thanks again.
Amitiés
Phil...x
