I did bring my M240 and M246 and, since I am a Presbyterian, I will consider this to be preordained and sign that I was intended to use my M's on this trip! We've made it to Tehran and our guide has already stopped twice for us to picnic with Iranians on the last day of NoRuz and, after haggling with officials for an hour, he got me and my cameras into the Ayatollah's Tomb - apparently quite feat. Everybody is as nice as I remembered them being and they are so happy to have Americans in Iran. I'll post photos when I get all of my connections working!
