Hi,

 

Yes, too long between visits.  I wish we had another Spring  trip to CA.  That was an especially fun trip.  I am still processing some of the images from you visit last Fall so I get to  relive some of our jaunts.

 Marnie is working on some trips later this summer--don't know if that will materialize but might be on the other coast.  My cousin David  lives near Seattle and he is supposed to take us on  a hike in the Cascades.  I  really want to find where that dog Gus hangs out with those tremendous vistas.  My cousin is the only one I know who has hiked the Annapurna trail (in winter) and just got a lead article in Science.

(Not bragging by proxy, just like the cover--"sequencing going ape")

 

I am forwarding this to the CVO (Marnie) to see what can be done. You and Carol are always welcome of course--"Hi" to Carol from us.

 

Best,

Mike

I would bet they are single element diopters though the lower power ones as Chuck mentioned can perform OK. 

Yup, a +1/+2/+4 set from ages ago sure sounds like the common single element lens sets. Perhaps that in part explains the many seriously soft flower images he's posted over the years. :-)

He and Rick post the blurriest images. Rick is old and has admittedly quite poor vision, so he gets a pass. Not so sure about Chris. He pretends to good vision, but there are contra-indications, such as his comment about Brian's rose today.

PS: Carol and I were just commenting on how we miss you guys. We had just had a good visits from a Maine friend, then one of her sisters and hubby, which reminded us of others we enjoy spending time with, but who live far away*. It's a long time 'til Fall.

* Or perhaps we live far from you? Ask Albert.
