Re: Thoughts between the two

Thanks for the tip. Mounting a QR adapter on the sling is a good idea. Since I'm using the camdapter with the strap, the Slingstrap makes most sense. This thread got me thinking again and a free shipping coupon from camdapter made me bite. Toine On 19 February 2011 20:43, John Sessoms

Walter, your discretion is greatly appreciated. I'm happy just knowing you'll put it to good use. With this lens, you can easily justify charging $300 a pop for Little League portraits. -c On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 9:47 AM, Walter Gilbert ldott...@gmail.com wrote:  Just wanted to let you know
