Given almost two days off I've finally gotten some stuff done. Firstly, I think I have a web site up at:
http://rocky.itasca.net/~edwin Mostly to provide, as shel suggested, some examples of how I shoot. There's some *istD portraits there if whoever asked about those didn't get his fill with this month's PUG, plus the two main pictures from my award-winning photo package on Kite Day. Most of the Nikon stuff is recent and digital, because AF and digital are giving me better pictures than I ever got before. The Pentax stuff is also recent, because I didn't shoot much with the Pentaxes from 1995 to 2003. I'm not looking for any public feedback on these pix--PDML is busy enough already with PUG and PAW discussion! Do let me know if stuff simply doesn't work. I'm thinking based on my own browsing of the website that I might have to run a script on the server to compress the pix a little more and get the file sizes down. Secondly, I called KEH and got a nice price quote for my Nikon F2 with motor drive (bought for sports backup, and obsoleted by digital) and a pentax M 80-200/4.5 that my girlfriend spurned in favor of the 85/2 and 200/4 M lenses. I put a pentax M 150/3.5 on hold against the quote, so I should be able to evaluate that lens myself within a fortnight. That'll give me a nice travel kit of K30/2.8, M50/2.0, and M150/3.5, although I'm still casting about for a second camera solution for travel (to back up the LX. I've got a K2 and can borrow a ZX-M or as many Super Programs or ME supers as I want, but I'm looking at a PZ-1P or another LX). I'd still love to have a 20mm with this kit, but it's an FA 20/2.8 OR a second camera that I trust (or a Nikon 1.4x AF teleconverter...) DJE
