From one X1 user to another -- nice job! Ed B.

LA, Glad to see that the X1 arrived safely and that you're starting to produce fine images with it. I'm confident you will get much enjoyment from your purchase. I especially like the results I get in B&W. Kookie B.

Brian, > Tough week, a friend passed away very suddenly from pneumonia. I can relate to your pain. Almost a year ago I lost a dear friend to the old 'gun cleaning accident.' Ed B.

Rick, > in B/W it does give these old birds a certain glamour I hadn't thought of it from that perspective, but I'd be hard-pressed to argue with you. Ed

Thanks, Guys, I appreciate your taking the time to look at these images and provide feedback. See you next time . . . Ed B.
