Hi Maurice:
I don't have one of those fancy LCD displays either, but your images look
very nice indeed on my 19 inch CRT monitor. Vignetting, though present,
seems pretty tolerable---much better than my Pentax shots wide open. Were
the E200 transparencies very dense after 26 min at f 5.6?  How many stops
closed down is 5.6 on your lens?
