Subject: [Leica] Re: reflecting on the 70-180mm and tripods

Some two years ago I trekked around the Antarctica for some two weeks.  I 
used only the 70-180 lens and a tripod.  Being 65 yrs old I have really come 
to appreciate not only that fine lens but also the benefits of using a tripod 
in general.  Now I almost never without a tripod (usually a Gitzo 1228) and 
my 70-180, my 100mm and the 35-70 ASPH.  What more does one need.  (I find 
that almost everything else is fattening, illegal, or immoral)

Any Texas Luggers interested in trying to get together in the Big Bend for a 
weekend shoot.  I sometimes ranch in that area and would be glad to help host 
such an event.
