I voted 50, though I may go with availability over loyalty if it comes right down to it.

Now - a picture of that tatoo! :

Welcome to the forum Frenchy.

There are still a few of us film types around, so don't be shy.

Where are you from?

Cheers

It's WORKIN"!

How did you get tjhose clouds to do that?

Hi Folks,

One of these will be going up on eBay from one of my friends in Vancouver, British Columbia.

He's asked me what I think of this lens and I have 0 experience.

Ah, but YOU do!

So, vadayatink?

Any and all info appreciated as always.

Dan,

Dave needs a little geography lesson.

Dave,

Canada is that little country just north of America.

I have two houses - one in Montreal where I work, and one on a country lake near Lachute where I shoot sunsets and sunrises while kayaking.

Canadians know quality - we have to to survive. Thus the high percentage of Pentax users.

Blinker,

We have some faithful members in British Columbia, and I'll ask them to let us know about prices way out there. I hope you can visit there - it's spectacular.

Yves,

You live in a very nice area - maybe we'll hook up one day.

Yo!

And welcome!

How far north of me are you?

I either live in Pincourt or Lachute.

Yup, a really deep blue - when I can see through the *&^% snow storms!

I think it's because there is little moisture in the cold air.

'Cause it's all tuned to *&^%*snow over here!

How marco do I have to get to shoot snow flakes?

THIS is where the ring flash would come in handy (floods are a definite disadvantage.)

Rob,

ANOTHER bright blue sky!

With a spring robin to lift the spirits!

The Tamron did very well here. f8?

(Don't let him see Clarky's bugs!)

Clarky,

Great focus and DOF.

You've sure got it all covered now from Macro to Tele.

Cheers
