Indeed. I hope I'm not insulting anyone by saying that this must be the curse of urbanization. As one of the more "rural" photographers on the list I can't see that this actually is such a big point. There's a time and a place for minimizing gear load, and there are other times when bringing what you have is appropriate and a courtesy to the people you will meet. > And, considering the prevelance of zoom lenses these days, you can often > get by with only two or three lenses.

"some of the people here"...? No, I won't go there. Jostein -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
