I used think having the peep hole in a camera ground to your prescription would be a good idea, though now they have auto-focus which I don't have. Even that is out of date now, I suppose. Then there's digital, but I haven't done that yet either. I'm way behind the times, but I've gotten good pictures with my AE-1 at different times. Usually my best pictures were mostly good luck, but maybe not because it happened a lot. Someone said knowing music was a help because you learn to get everything correct and you have a sense of artistry too. Pictures on a computer are nice, but sometimes it's nice to have a picture you can hold and show people. > Bryna ---------- In article <3b1d5f11.3937433@news.newsguy.com>, phideaux@mcmsys.com (Phideaux) wrote: >On Tue, 5 Jun 2001 13:53:09 -0400, "Dinty W.
