Cotty, Great bag the Mini Trekker. I obtained one at GFMtn. I have yet to take my gear out of it and use my bum bag :-)
I wonder how much gear I can actually put in it and still keep it manageable... I still have my 200/2.8 and 20/4 still sitting in it along with my usual carry around lenses. I just have to stick an LX in there somehow. Awesome about meeting Gerry Anderson!!! I used to love watching the Thunderbirds - you could not pull my sister and me from the TV set while it was on. May have to pick up the video collection some day, Cesar Panama City, Florida -----Original Message----- From: Cotty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 5:40 PM Seeing as I seemed to somehow mysteriously acquire a couple of lenses in America, I was driving home from London (Pinewood Studios - *see below) and suddenly enabled myself to buy a new, bigger bag for my gear :-) I had a Lowepro Micro Trekker 200 which is pretty diddy really, so I got a Mini Trekker AW from Morris Photo in Oxford. I don't like these massive bags that you see, and besides, shoe-horning everything in is a challenge... http://www.macads.co.uk/snaps/spare.html [* I had a brilliant job today - met one of my all-time heroes - Gerry Anderson. He's got a building full of people working on a new tv series - a remake of Captain Scarlet using CGI (computers imaging to you Tanja). It's a bit like Max Steele but there the similarity ends. Shooting HDTV and using photo-real software, the stuff is AMAZING. The walls were covered with inkjets of all the new vehicles and ships. Cloud base is now called Sky Base and has four runways. All sorts of new gizmos and ships - and the computer animation is awesome. Gerry Anderson (creator of Thunderbirds etc) is a charming man in his seventies, and his office is awesome - he showed me a model of Lady Penelope's FAB 1 made of solid silver, with incredible detail. Models and pics all over the place. I told him I have a model of Sky 1 (from 'UFO' somewhere with broken wings - and I am inspired to fix it :-) I'm such a Sci Fi geek... Fabulous day.... ] NB - Pentax Content: link leads to image with a Pentax lens visible (just) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________
