Ah
Richard I do remember someone posting on this list a picture of a brick wall.
Reason being he wanted the groups feelings if the lens was sharp enough :-).
Not only is it a pleasure to read and post on this list, it gives some of us
more mediocre photogs a target to shoot for.

absolutely true, it's all about the image...
makes me wonder why Erwin spends so much of his time shooting test charts.
