too busy
One of the regulars on the MOU Listservice signs off with "If you are too busy to go birding, you are too busy." I'm too busy today -- what with work around the house and some work deadlines tomorrow. Some days retirement looks really good!
But, on the list of things to come, not necessarily in this order:
1. I received the Delkin Sensorscope from Art Morris a few days ago & will report on it soon. (His web site is a little screwed up at this location; I ordered from one of his newsletters, which you should subscribe to; take a look at some back issues in the archive section and be amazed at Art's photography.) The scope is now available without the extra cleaning supplies and is about $90.
2. I'm planning on doing some lens sharpness tests comparing my 70-200mm f/2.8, 300mm f/4, & 400mm f/5.6 lenses with and without the 1.4x & 2x teleconverters.
3. I want to switch totally over to Adobe Elements 5.0 from Picasa for most of my print making and will report on this also (although I may not find time until late fall; it's more fun to go out birding).
4. Consideration to getting the Tamron 200-500mm lens.
5. Top grade spotting scope.
