Ted, I have been able to spend quite a bit of time with Bob Sacha here at the ASMP conference. His work is incredibly beautiful location work mostly done very simply. He usually carries on a travel assignment an M6 and couple lenses and one EOS body with 2-3 primes and a couple Vivitar 283s. I printed out the article and gave him. He came back about an hour later saying "So THAT's why I always carry both." donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego www.donalphilby.com
