Hey, Amita,
You just bought a new lens. Ya gotta play with that for a while!
The Mat will still be there in a week or two. Get that ultra wide zoom
outta your system first. It's the natural order of things.
Bummer about that CD case/filter holder, though... :-(

For stage photography: two LX + Winder loaded with TMZ or Ilford 3200

Being that I went to Roatan recently...
I use a Nikonos V with SB101 strobe for underwater photography. It was a
relearning experience of estimating distances since it is a rangefinder. I
do enjoy the extra shooting distance the strobe gives me. Reminder - when
using a strobe, close your eyes

Except for backpacking, hunting and fishing, I use LX's exclusively. I do a
lot of technical photography, otherwise, I shoot mostly street portraits,
much of it at night. Lately, I've been the choice of acquaintances I meet at
my favorite coffee shop for BW versions of their different weddings
My name is John and I am a cameraholic. grin
I shoot in the broad genre that is usually called travel
photography and use a Leica rangefinder outfit most of the
time. The 24mm, 35mm and 90mm focal lengths would be fine
for 90% of my shots but I resort to my Pentax SLR gear when
I need an SLR.
