I could see it as well. I don't really thing of photo gear as expedition equipment and those posts tend to speed down the opening page pretty quick. It might work better to place photo gear in a sub thread in this section. While we're at it maybe we could also add a "go figure" type section...

Nah...it's not that bad weight wise. This is my camera for when I want to shoot film so not something I'd use everyday. I don't mind the weight. Just after a day or so of use I've found the controls pretty straight forward-or maybe I'm just used to Nikon. Downloading the manual helped.

How much for the 80-200?

I saw that in the manual I downloaded. That must been great for the sports photogs. That back with film and batteries plus the body must be close to 10 lbs!

The new D3 sounds like a automatic weapon (well muted) it's so fast. I think the FPS on the D3 should be called a burst rate its so fast. The one draw back to the mechanic tones of the F4s is the knowledge that it's eating through film quickly and a roll change will be soon.

Now you're thinking! The helicopter will be perfect to take them that last bit and in a pinch the generators on the yacht can power the main house at least.

I'd also suggest www.roversnorth.com/forum , www.expeditionlandrover.info. Both have a lot of information in addition to the one Tom mentioned. The RN forum has a very helpful crowd. Feel free to ask here as well, I got a lot of help here when searching for my IIa and I'll be glad to pass...

Not to be a nerdly but the flow rate on yachts is measured GPH-or Gallons per hour-and that's an average figure based on 3/4 throttle with full generators. To give you an idea of the crazy money these guys spend-Ft Lauderdale built a super yacht dock/center after there data showed the owners of...

What kind of info you looking for?

You're right about the shutter-when I fired it off the first time that sound put me right back to when I was got the photography bug. It is such a precise mechanical sound that is all business. Leo, I'll give you a call today to go over some of the buttons and dials.

I'd like to know the price on the 35-70,the 80-200, 35 and 28, add the 50 as well although I'd rather have the 1.4. Is the 35-70 the 2.8-4 lens that also has macro? I'm not familiar with a 35-70f2.8.

That is one clean Trooper! Bump for a nice rig. Just curious...are the seats purple or is my monitor off?

I had to get new tires for the 4runner so I'll stay with it for a while. I went up to 285/70/17's and gained an inch or so and they fill the wheel wells so much better. I think this is about as much tires you can put under a 4R (4th gen) without a lift. It's my DD so going to tall on tires and...

Ok...you're crazy:coffeedrink: JK- I agree that with routine maintenance a Land Rover is very dependable-heck there has to be a reason that so many are still around. The work is pretty basic as well. I'm not sure at what point the general public stopped taking care of their vehicles and also...

It's better than golf!- probably cheaper too.. Does anyone go into a Rover project with the hopes of a reliable vehicle? Post some picutres if you can-sounds like a cool project.

Here she is in her rugged glory. I forgot what an all metal solid camera felt like-feels good. Sorry for the bad BB photo-bad lighting here in the office.

I took the old girl on a road trip saturday-and she made it! As I was being passed by traffic and noticing the many looks of curiosity and those of wonderment from young kids I realized something. When I was that young kid in the back seat of my parents boring sedan the sight of something...

If there is a fellow named Mason in that group-tell him I said hello and hook up with one of his Saturday trips-you'll learn a lot from him-I sure did. It is probably very incorrect and silly but when I lived there the FFF guys seemed to do a lot more fishing than the guys in the TU club-they...

If you see Steve, tell him I am impressed with his work on the SI-very nice.

I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking a kit of primes would be fun but so would finding a deal on the standard pro kit if the era-28-80 f2.8 80-200 f2.8. If I go with primes it would be a 28, 50, 105, maybe a 35 and a 20. I've got 70-300 f4 that will cover the long-ish zooms. The manual focus are less...
