I had tried to align the railings and the dome, I thought that might be ok. I have noticed the holes and doors, but, and this is the puzzle, do you think I would have got the top of the dome in the center AND the stairs right in the middle? Temple Bar: I may look like the LUG's Fred Astair, but me long legs are still far too short sometimes ;-) and there's no wide angle available for the L1 yet but the Oly one, which has from what I know no contacts to communicate with the camera. Still waiting for Leica to release 4/3 lenses as a result. Thanks again for your very detailed and much appreciated comments and suggestions. Yours Phileicangemix.
