I thought the Boston subway was the MTA?


It used to be the MTA many tears ago (long before I lived in Boston).
Now it's the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) and it
includes busses, subways, commuter rail and ferries.

But everyone just calls the subway system "The T".

Well, yeah. That's the point: To offer just enough improvement to be
useful but not enough to piss off people who already have a K-1 (by
making them think they should have waited).

The K5IIs actually made the K5 useful, I'm still using my mK5IIs, my
pair of K5 bodies are long gone, their focus speed/accuracy in low
light was appalling. If these specs are true it's really offering a
very very limited advantage over the original K1.

It used to be the MTA many tears ago (long before I lived in Boston).
Now it's the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) and it
includes busses, subways, commuter rail and ferries.

But everyone just calls the subway system "The T".

Still having to find your posts in the Archives.

Plenty detail in both. The goose shot is quite exceptional.

Perhaps you could try using bait to get the Baldie even closer?

Years ago, when I was fishing with my Old Man down in the Transkei, a Fish 
Eagle stole some of our bait.
