Thanks, Colin. As I say, I'm open to suggestions, but you can glean my initial thoughts about this from some of my other responses. I've listed my long lenses in another response. And KEH is right here. I'd prefer not to buy a lens for this trip -- in addition to being an amateur I'm poor -- but maybe I could pick up something useful in this situation cheaply. I'll take a look. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
