Thanks, Jim. I had my doubts at times! I rode a mule named "Jumper" for two hours straight up a mountain and through a river. How I stayed in the saddle I'll never know. Leica's were clanging together and beating me to death. On the way back, I only wore one Leica and got off and walked down the steep clay bank to the river and back up again. I stayed with families the first week, we did cataract surgery the next 10 days, and saw over 1500 people in the regular medical clinics the last two weeks. I'm developing and scanning the film this week. I trimmed down my pack this year and only took two M'6s with the 35/1.4, 50/1.0, 75/1.4 and the R6.2 with the 100 Macro, 85/1.4, and 19. It was still heavy enough (with 300 rolls of film) that I'm glad I'm doing weight lifting to be able to lift it into the overhead! Continental did us the favor of not shipping our sterilizing equipment for three days so we had over 100 patients who came by bus from all over the country who had to wait an extra three days for their surgery. Don't fly Continental!! I'm glad to be back and look forward to great conversations about Leica photography on the LUG! Leically, Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
