So true, after carrying my N90 for a time I had forgotten how heavy the
F line is! I've been out shooting with one of the F2's the last few
days, just because I like the feel of 'em! Now the fun begins, the
tulips are just beginning to bloom out so I'll be doing a lot of
shooting from now till the end of April. This weekend my wife and I are
celebrating our 25th anniversary and we'll be off to a romantic getaway,
but we may drive through the fields to see how close they are to
bursting!
chat with you soon!
