Slynky--Well, when I try to sell it, I'll be quiet about the flaws LOL. Meantime back at the ranch, the flaws are potential talking points, and see here, we're talking already. nplus--I'm definitely going back, and yes I will take the tripod. But the dam dog'll have to carry it, 'cause I'm tired of the thing LOL. Slynky--About 2 hours. One way. Alpha--Hah! Glasses? Young? I'm so confused... pS, Thanks. This one looked good in the viewfinder, and I let the review convince me it was all good...when will I ever learn? STOP DOWN! It's NOT that difficult.
