I would not part with either - they both have their specific uses

Wildlife - it has to be the DA* 300, since in reality you would prefer something even longer.

For general walking about, then the DA* 60-250 for the versatility.

How about a compromise - you provide the wine and I will bring my outboard motor

George,

I have the answer - get the dinghy out and go for a leisurely row back to the same spot.

Far easier to get the composition right from a rowing boat than from a faster moving boat.

Changing topic - how is the restoration project coming along :

I have tried scanning with the Kodachrome setting and also correcting afterwards in Photoshop to remove the blue cast with some success.

But I understand that it is best to make as many corrections as possible during the scan process, rather than 'correcting' a scan later.

I ended up buying a Braun Novamat M330, which has a built in screen (as well as projecting in the usual manner).

Bear in mind that Kodachrome doesn't scan as well as Ektachrome, because of its different structure. The Nikon Coolscan has a special Kodachrome setting for this reason.
Silverfast software also has the special Kodachrome setting but how do you spot a Kodachrome slide when it has been glass mounted, other than guessing :

Does anyone have a use for Gnome 35mm slide magazines (circular) that hold 122 slides.

I have nine of them and they will be available soon, when I have finished decanting my slides into new magazines that fit my current projector.

I am not looking for any money for them, but would wish to cover the cost of delivery.

As you can imagine she is most grateful when I do that.
