And you'd look great with that 18 2.8 Nikkor danglening off your shoulder.<< No doubt I'd look good with the 18/2.8! Wow, are those photos on Rockwell's site impressive (both of and with the 18). (Thanks for the link, BTW) Sadly, I live in the sticks now days. Nobody sees me photographing. People don't seem too interested in camera equipment either. I just did a photo essay on how to make a perfectly smoked Christmas Turkey. Speaking of which, I spent several months debating on whether to get a Weber Virtual Bullet http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/ or Big Green Egg http://www.biggreenegg.com/ (any lens decision is easy by comparison). My old electric smoker died last year. Both the Weber and the Egg have a cult following. The Egg is the Leica of BBQ/Smoker units. I got the Weber. It was 1/3rd the cost of a large BGE. I must say, it's an impressive unit. In the last two weeks I've smoked salmon, brisket, pork butt and several turkeys. My testers (college students, mainly) can't get enough of it. This weekend I'm tackling beer can chicken. Dave R
