Hello Pete,

Well that's the fun of photography - there are no rules :-)

For still life work I might consider an 87 filter with Konica - for good
definition of anything moving around in a landscape photo then the speeds
are just too long for me.

There is a space in the CoCam Gallery all set up for three of your Ireland
Konica shots :-)


All the best,
