Right. Much more correct to say "strap on a normal lens and go for it." A K10D is fairly compact with a DA21 or FA43 on it. G On Mar 29, 2008, at 6:56 PM, P. J. Alling wrote: > Since I assume he's taking a digital I'd suggest something a bit > wider, > since the 50mm is a short telephoto on a

Since I assume he's taking a digital I'd suggest something a bit wider, since the 50mm is a short telephoto on a Pentax DSLR. Rebekah wrote: > it's always worth it to bring your camera! screw the bag, snap on a > 50 like Dave said and you're good to go! plus, there's nothing worse > than that f

it's always worth it to bring your camera! screw the bag, snap on a 50 like Dave said and you're good to go! plus, there's nothing worse than that feeling of regretting leaving your camera behind... rg2 On 3/29/08, David J Brooks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sat, Mar 29, 2008 at 2:25 PM, God

The beach front and pier at Marina del Rey have possibilities as does the marina itself. When I was there most recently, in January, I had my Optio 555 with me but left it in the hotel room and missed a couple of evening shots of fishermen on the pier... I wouldn't take a full bag, but a s

If you don't something interesting will happen, if you do nothing will. If you plan to get to the beach your itinerary won't allow it. If you don't something will get canceled and you'll have plenty of time. So take the bag what could it hurt. Rick Womer wrote: > I have a trip next week to a

Rick, I have only been thru LAX 1 time when the sky was clear. By the afternoon, the brown haze had returned. So no good landscapes... Marina Del Rey is near enough for a dinner, but still pretty urban. I would think something like Venice beach would be more photogenic. Maybe the Santa Monica pier?

I have a trip next week to a meeting in the luxurious LAX Marriott. Looking at Google Maps, I observe that the beach is a long 3-mile walk. A 5 or 6 mile cab ride will get me to Marina Del Ray. Time is going to be limited. Is it worth taking the camera bag along? Rick
