But if you are interested in wildlife, etc., then I defer to those with experience in that area. For example, with long telephotos you'll need fast film. A 28 mm or 35 mm is handy when the ship goes through narrow passages. For especially long-distance scenics, you'll need all the contrast you can get, except for brilliant, clear days. - -- - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
