I want to be able to take pictures while floating in a dry suit, probably in salt water (more Coast Guard projects), and the 28mm format would be ideal. But the camera would definitely get wet and probably be underwater occasionally, but not very deep. BTW, I just talked to my friend who is CG Group Commander in New Jersey, where the Area of Responsibility also includes Manhattan. On September 11th, one of his crews on a Dolphin HH65-A helicopter took photos of the twin towers on their routine patrol before heading back south to Atlantic City HQ. Just minutes later the attack occurred. Then for the next few days, helos out of Atlantic City where among the total of about 10 aircraft allowed to fly in the country. Captain Bob Durfey has been one busy officer lately - please keep him in your prayers. I will be taking Leicas and Hasselblads aloft tomorrow with the CG out of Group Humboldt Bay for photos of installations and boats in Crescent City and Eureka. Things are relatively calm here on the Northcoast of California up in the redwoods, but I am having to show my CG Artist Program photographer ID for the first time to the sentries at all CG stations.
