Hi to Ken, Ted and Nathan and everyone. Nearly two years back I took my M gear and Z2X into the baby shop. 3hr 21 minute labour meant not many photos during. Was a bit fast and furious - seemed like about half an hour. Got one shot with Z of the first contraction, then forgot about cameras. But I grabbed the M6 and Noctilux (sporting Tmax 3200) about 5 minutes after the little guy surfaced and got some pictures my wife and I coo over now. I have never felt so helpless as when I was watching to see that he was breathing. Picking up the camera calmed my nerves. And how wonderful it must be to see one's grandchildren born. Congratulations Ken. Rick Dykstra
