I like numbers two and three the best. When we were there it was also cold and snowy and I didn't have a camera .
I want to go back to Chicago sometime and spend longer there, when it is a bit warmer, and the lake isn't frozen.
Did you notice that the river flows the wrong way?

I dream of seeing the aurora. Photographing them would be a bonus, but just seeing them would fulfil a lifetime's ambition. A friend of mine has moved back to northern Sweden now so I can see I shall have to visit her sometime.

The new camera will be the K7D not the K30D

EVIL will never catch on as the name for these cameras because of it's other connotations. I have also heard them called hybrids, which I guess is as good a name as any.
The new Pentax however will not be an EVF/EVIL/Hybrid. The head of Hoya stated categorically that they were not working on such a camera, and that Samsungs new one is all Samsungs own work.

As I said you have to be really careful with which TC's you use on the Bigma, and how you use them, to avoid severely damaging it.
There is a list of approved TC's for the beast.
I think anything more than a 1.4 would make it too dark too use comfortably.

Lovely picture George.
Has the wallaby herd in the Peak District died out? There always used to be wallabies there, and around Chessington I believe.

It is important when using a TC on the Bigma to lock it off so it can't go below 100mm - otherwise you can damage it severely! Unless you have one of the Tamron TC's - can't remember which one off hand.
