The video is right: Southwell Minster is one of England's least well-known cathedrals, but it's one of the finest. We don't even get to see its glory: the medieval stone carving ("The Leaves of Southwell") in the Chapter House.

I've always thought I'd like to own a Leica but the cost has always put me off, I'll just stick to my Fuji using the ACROS simulation... It will be interesting to see the results and what you think of it.
