Hi Peter,
I did consider posting the whole thing with frame numbers and sprocket holes
to convince the doubters but then I would be putting up a high resolution
version for anyone to steal and to date, in terms of visits, it is my most
successful shot ever.
Bottom line is I know its real and my 'new' 35-80mm delivered a shot of a
quality that for some is 'too good' to be real. I consider that more of a
compliment than an insult. I have just collected some more to scan from
that lens and they are looking pretty good too :-)
Thanks for looking.
