However my R-7 with a long lense would still have beaten the M-6. I was in the ring with a bunch of really large and fast bulls, not a pretty sight: an overweight gray haired dude running to jump up on the side rails with a swinging M-6! cheers;;jh Jim Harrison Wichita Falls TX N 34.01.650 W98.29.990 >
