I took that trip last September. Excellent weather - almost 80 degrees F. in Anchorage! If you get to Anchorage, take the helicopter flight to the glaciers. Expensive, but worth every penny! I'd do it again in a heartbeat! FWIW, I took a 24, 50, 90 and a 180 along with a 2x. The "360" was slow (f8) but ideal for whales, birds and shoreline wildlife with fast film. Used a monopod for these with good success. Have fun! It's marvellous scenery! - ---------- David Young | Experience gained varies directly Victoria, CANADA | with equipment ruined. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
