Well I have just got back from B&H on the subway with the camera and am
heading out to read the manual in a coffee shop, Barnes and Noble on 82nd
and Bway. 
Its very fast and big and bright. Feeling enabled to the max.
If I was wearing a Jet Jackson rocket belt I'd not be feeling more enabled.
Full moon at 8:36 PM that's about 6 hours from now. This on no sleep.
TGIF FM

My 24 to 85 G lens seems to be all I'd need 99.9 of the time.
