Thanks, Stan. My version of traveling light is lighter than yours, though yours is plenty light—just one lens, preferably a compact wide angle. Wish I had the 21/3.2. Before this wedding came up I had been thinking about France, but having made the arrangements I have and learning about where I’m going I’m really looking forward to Italy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] "Imagining the other is a powerful antidote to fanaticism and hatred." - Amos Oz -- 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.
