In April there will be a fly-in (non-public) to which we were invited. I'll probably take the 560 and 280 plus my best tripod and see what I can do with the Canon and the NEX-7. Hmmm, April, now if Leica wanted to loan me one of the new M's (what will we call those???) I'd be happy to do a test report. Just sayin'...
