Digital BW, The Print

Morning Dick....er actually I guess it is afternoon already in your neck of
the woods,

I have followed this thread and feel I should state my background in
photography. While I have done commercial photography throughout my career,
portrait photography has now become my
main source of income. This is why the electric Hasselblad works best for me
in photographing people and the Super Wide C for wide angle commercial work.

After seeing what others have recommended, as I stated earlier, I will
certainly defer to those who have been there/done that. I have taken
thousands of slides using Nikons' while on vacation in various locations
through out the US and Europe. I could probably count on one hand the number
of images that even come close to the quality that others on this list have
produced.
The photographers who are serious about scenic images are up against a very
tough opponent in those location elements. My hat is off to them.
 I love Paul's images and think his suggestion about a tri-pod is a must,
although while using 35mm on the vacations, I never used one. Course that is
why it is called
 a vacation and not work. <G>

I have learned a lot from reading the many who post here and I wish you the
best, please let us know what you decide and how you like it while using it
in the "real world."

Regards,

John in Okc (who loved my visit to England, what a great country to produce
beautiful images)

as

| In the UK there are about 200+ long distance paths i.e. anything over
| 100miles - and the best country is the wildest forsooth.
