I too travel with more lenses than socks. Socks you can always wash or if you are really desperate you can buy some new ones. Lenses are another matter entirely.
Have fun in North Dakota, you lucky man. I hope BA strikes and volcanoes do not hinder you at all.

The Bigma collar can be rotated too I think. It's upstairs so I can't check.
But the Nikon site specifically refers to a detachable Monopod collar for its too big pro lenses, not a tripod collar/foot and shows it at the "wrong" end of the lens.

Yes, my brother went to uni there and got married there too. He lived there for several years before moving to York. He used to work in the Land of Green Ginger. yeah...but...have you ever seen Hull...?
We pass through when we visit him in York. It is better than it used to be. Quite enjoyed the Deep for instance, and the shops aren't bad either.

Has to be the best reason to upgrade to Win7.

You could go on a day trip to Hull and collect it Stefan!
€69 Rotterdam Hull and back. Probably more than the postage though.

Whilst I liked Tony explanation better, I too was curious about this.
Apparently professional Nikkor telephoto lenses come with a detachable monopod collar, which I assume is what they are using. Why it is where it is I have no idea - maybe it makes for a better balance with a monopod as opposed to the normal tripod collar position. I would have thought it made panning much harder though. Since I don't have a Nikon, and couldn't afford one of those lenses even if I did, (have a look at SRS for the prices :shock I can't help any further.

Thankyou for those groan worthy jokes.
Now I have to get on with sorting out what to take on my hols.
The worst part of a holiday is deciding what to take and packing it. Then throwing half of it out because you packed too much.
At least we are going by car this time so I can be generous in my selection of lenses to take. I may even give the 50-135 an outing, though I doubt it will get used.

I never had a problem with Vista either. We upgraded because my husband decided he wanted Windows 7. The family pack was as I said a great deal.
Kris I agree about shiny screens - it influenced my choice of netbook too.
