Cotty - thanks for the photos and the fine story telling. I am just back home this evening and am faced with 2000+ messages on PDML (mostly some fuss about brad doughboy and/or about the dslr). Am off again for most off this week, it will be sometime before I can get my photos from Camden Lock developed, printed, scanned . . .
BTW, one small correction: you said 645NII. I wish! I have a basic 645. As for the hayseed comment, I have slung (slang? have slanged? I am not actually sure of the past participle of 'sling') many a hay bale in my youth, from which activity one gets a certain residue of seeds and other detritus in one's hair, etc. So, the 'hayseed' designation is about right. No offense taken! Its been 23 hours since I got up this morning in Sevenoaks - I don't think I'll finish reading the remaining 1500+ PDML messages right now.
