 I've heard Mike has that effect on folk...


'Twas a golden retriever, actually. Whacked its head into my precious
645 35mm so that the focusing tube broke.

It's repaired now, though.:-)

Got some nice ice roses on the car windows these days, btw, which I'm
working on.

Aside from Nylons, 2002 brought me an upgrade from 645 to 645NII, and a FA645
35mm in the same bargain.

Also, I picked up a very nice Sigma 70-200/2.8 that needed a good home after
leaving Oxford, UK. It probably miss its former master, though, since it has
felt less than five films of diaphragm contractions in its belly since
September.

There will be more though, hopefully soon. Both for the 645NII and the lesser
format stuff...:-)

Jostein,

You're spending far too much time with that giant thing in your grip! 
That medium format gear is such a time-waster ;-)

What about some decent sport - got any bobsleigh racing going on? your 
PZ1p and the Sigma would make a formidable sportcam. Husky racing? Snow 
scooter banger racing? Get the willy warmer on and get cracking!!!

LOL

Hehe! The Sigma is the heaviest 35mm lens I have ever owned. Not much weight
reduction to gain there...

It's finding time to shoot that is the problem these days. the Z-1/sigma is
the combo I grab for whenever I get a chance... The 645NII hasn't been out of
the bag since my visit to Mike W. in Newcastle.
