The intensity of the ambient light can be adjusted from 1-5 in the COMAND. This was in a very dark garage with intensity at 5 to show up better. Frankly I don't know if the back seats get the same treatment or not.

In real life the rear wheels look fine, though since it is all under warranty I will ask the workshop to check when ever it is next in; I suspect the impression of negative camber is created by the big wheel arch extensions which need to be filled. Perhaps if MB had specified 285 tires they might have filled the archs better.

Having owned W140, W220 and W221 I completely empathise. With due respect to W220 owners, a few miles into owning my W221, I knew that this car picked up the plot where the W140 left off.

You mean you have never sat in the back of your car?

To paraphrase Paul Simon, 'sneak into the back Jack'!

New lens for the new car...

Received a new lens for the Canon yesterday and wanted to try it out. If it makes the S550 look good, then I'll keep it....I will definitely keep both

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS (Image Stabilization). I drive the highlights in post processing a little and with the polished alloys and this lens they blossom for sure.

This image is off topic but check out the sharpness on this one:

Jack,

As always your work is first class. I'm going to have to move up to the VR series lenses for my D70. Have you done any shots of your car along Freemont at night?

Thanks sprink...a good lens always helps... This is a new EF-S 17-55mm IS zoom and has gotten great reviews for IQ. This is another shot at the 17mm end and very sharp.

Tough getting on Freemont Street with the computerizes light show over the entire downtown street area in front of the casinos. I do have to get downtown and shoot some stuff...tremendous opportunity for good pics.
