If I haven't answered one you sent me, I'll get to it soon! My computer is grinding away, converting RAW to tiffs and jpegs. My slide film is drying in the darkroom. I used the Canon 10D most of the time with Canon and Leica lenses, but also the R6.2 with my 400/6.8. My son dropped his M4 and knocked it out of alignment so he used my Digilux. Ecuador is a photographer's paradise. We spent the first three weeks in the Andes, visiting Indian villages. I mountain biked, rode horses and hiked with my new knees and they worked great. Nobody ever objected to having their photo made. I'd be hiking along in the mountains taking photos and people would come up and ask me to take their photos! They invited me into their houses! I think I'll retire there. The last week we spent in a small sailboat in the Galapagos Islands. That's where I used the 400 to photograph blue-footed boobies and red-throated frigate birds. We went snorkeling and I wished for an underwater camera. We had a couple of disposable ones that worked surprisingly well, but next time I'll take underwater housing of some kind. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that your new year is even better!
