Film used:	Fujichrome Astia 100
Technical information:	"Scanned" with the EOS-300D plus Zuiko 1:1 Macro 80mm f/4 on OM Bellows. Slight adjustments on PS trying to match the file with the original slide...

Think that a longer focal lenght would have lessen the subtlety, bringing the red ligths closer and trafic lights effect more effective; therefore the similarity/contrast more clear. Perhaps 100mm would have sufficed...
