Denton,

I spoke with a local photographer who uses the 135U, he looked at my
shots and though some came out very nicely some of the flawed frames he
had never seen with his camera.  I believe I am about to upgrade.

Are there any recommendations on accessories that you might have?  I
intend to buy three filters - UV & K2 & R25; is there anything else that
you use?

Sincerely, Art
