Yeh that;s the remaining 1% dissatisfaction
. Funny you should mention that though, I did consider doing it but it was just too hard to get right and look natural (well I couldn't work out a way of doing it well anyway), in the end I am not too adverse to optically induced effects in an image if they are not too objectionable and besides, the pending FLI16803 will have
no cover slip and a CCD mask light shield

On the subject of Repro man, I competed against a big Kiwi back in 1998,99 & 2000, Levi Vaonga, Levi was 6'3" and 173kg, super strong and powerfull too (lovely gentle man off the field). He had a nose ring and a mohawk the first time I met him
...thing is you betch ya, he was a reprosession man
but get this, he drove a Black high rise Toyota HiLux with a row of driving lights across the top and mag wheels, now I challenge anyone who's door he knocked on and asked them for their car not to give it to him
He was hard to beat and just taking the odd event from him over the course of a competition was enough at times, which I did a few times, but overall he was a monster.
