Re: [APML] Possible Fake or Worse??

[Stephen Pitt <lthuedk@pe.net>]

No false humility here Brian: this wasn't anywhere near the capability 
of the 10D.  The image isn't that good, and the better imagers hereabout 
know that.  Put a 10D in any of twenty pairs of hands on APML and I 
would expect at least as good a result.

The new toy has jolted me awake, though.
