[LRflex] Re: Was: Comparison of M8 Photos in Infra-Red - is now "rubbish?"

Thanks Dave for the insight.
Time to see if the dark night will be cold in Europe too.
And as an afterthought, I think I won't have an egg tomorrow morning;

I'd like to have Tina's views on that though - I don't know her but if

Thanks again to Colin and you.
Yours
Phil
