So I've got a new line for my sig---------Professional lugnut to 8x10 ---------


All right------over the years, being around a lot of THE photogs for magazines, etc, with mouth drooling amounts of film , and having various 35mm for slides(cheapest way to do color and project on walls(much bigger lugnuts in 8 ceiling x 12 foot walls))


We had a Sony that used 3 1/2 discs that was bulky and only had capacity for a few pics-got Robin an Olymist that would fit in her purse, used xd chips, had a telephoto lens-worked very good , but on the road trips the battery would not make it thru the day (she averaged a pic per mile (ppm) so I found a new battery for backup at a battery/tire store in Oklahoma------well after the first day--the charger was ac powered, so I had to buy an inverter charger for the truck------then since we had that covered I bought a third battery because thru the senic west still couldn't keep up---(batteries were about 70-80 dollaries IIRC) found out charger was from China and didn't have capacity to keep up with mule team driving Innois farm boy so bought another inverter from NAPA store so a warrantee could be honored back home--------was happy for a few miles---------got to thinking, if I was going to get ME a camera what should I get. Came up with the idea that when at Yellow Stone and Old Faithful I'd simply see what all the Chinese were using---------CANON----------and they also had lenses that they were switching between them for shots and some of them looked like CANNONS-------or at least four deuce mortars----------


Roger-take a look at the 28-135 zoom lense-----can take a full pic of a car from center of street without distorsion and enogh tello for mountains and UFO's in the sky. I agree those other lenses get bilky and heavy plus you also then are carrying the shorter one also--------


Also my Canon is an earlier EOS50D , doesn't do video, take Compact Flash cards, and does do 6.3 frames per second for action type shots-----love it!!!!!!!!!!!
