Of course, Roland.  And Nikon is very good at making colour balanced
lenses.  Aren't they?  

I've collected a couple of your posts from the past, and do understand
them.  All were elegant, and appreciated.  I thank you.

I like the use of the term, "colour balance".  It may appear as a
typical artsie expression, but it is not.  It is every bit as serius
to me as three or four colour crossings are to you.  Why would the
term appear any more complicated than black and white?

Best regards,
