Hello David. You are right again (sigh): a Developped RAW would have been more impressive. But this was a test shot. Of course, you know that Pan European refers to this but you did not wanted to show off (Wink :)): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_ST1100 The noise out of the shutter..... http://bikenoise.com/Manufacturers/Honda/ST1100/BikeNoise.aspx I have ordered a Leica R to 4/3 adaptor from a different maufactrer than what I have already. It looks more like the Laica Made item. We'll see if it can accomodate the 24 Elmarit (grumble, grumble). Cheers. --------------------------------- Xavier F.
