Probably Nikon F5 and f2.8 80-200mm zoom.  A great lens, I've got one too
but not exactly stealthy.

what is a "f580200combo" ? apologies if I missed it in a previous post.

Really a good newsphoto you got there. Would be hard to improve it. This was
with the 50?

I don't sweat whether someone snips out or deletes extra text on a reply. I
am
on dial up but don't pay by the minute (unlimited time). Problem is the big
images, and images in general. They can take so long to load I just cannot
view
them. Did look at yours, it's a good one.
