Thanks Marty, truth be none I was just a stupid country boy joining the Army to grow up some. Managed to get assignments where I was making a difference and stayed for 22 years.

As long as I have a truck and an ATV that 800mm is goining nowwhere, LOL!! Still debating on if I should keep the lightweight Leica 560/6.8 for the hikes though.

Sorry to hear about the 5D. When my adapter failed two weekends ago and my 5D fell to the ground out at Antelope Island I figured it was done too. But it hit a soft spot and doesn't seem to have any damage, whew!
