It may be that most people just don't check the infinity focus. The 519 model has a much better reputation, but I don't see how it could really be significantly better than the 500.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776670666673938282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-45088718388439130192011-06-19T15:35:42.250-06:002011-06-19T15:35:42.250-06:00Beautiful shadows silhouettes in the slideshow.

I have learned enough over the years to rescue some that I formerly thought were irreparable.<br /><br />Margaret went to a car wash yesterday, so the Honda looks quite a bit better than is usually the case.
