Hi Stan- The 21mm is such a little lens, it goes pretty much everywhere, although I didn't list it. Yes, it is redundant, but it's easier to find it a space than a longer lens. I also have a FA 28 of F50 for small primes, but am not much into changing lenses, especially if the museums are as crowded as Boris has implied in a prev. post.
I knew to visit the Lincoln Monument at night, but thanks for pointing out that the Vietnam Wall should be approached then as well. - Pat On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 8:14 PM, Stan Halpin <[email protected]> wrote: > Evening is a good time for The Wall.
