Subject: [Leica] Big Camera, Little Camera, and the Eastern Sierra

As a desperate move to try to find a used lens I need for October 1,
I ask the LUG if anyone has a used Fuji-C 450MM F12.5 lens for sale?  This
is a LF Lens that covers 8x10.
My only other choice is to buy a new one for about $900.

On-topic, the M6 will be my carrying camera, with 35 and 50 MM lenses.
Maybe my newly acquired 28 MM lens will take its first outing too.  No long
lenses.
I will be going to Lone Pine to shoot Manzanar,  Lee Vining to shoot Bodie
and the Eastern Yosemite area.  Someone a few weeks ago posted his trip
itinerary, and I will try to incorporate that into this trip as well.  Mono
Lake will get its obligatory sunup visit ( in the freezing weather) and I
intend on trying some more Tufa shots in the early evening.  It will be Full
moon time, so the evenings could get real interesting.

Does anyone know where Zabriskie Point is?  I think I will be near it on
395?
Other suggestions?
