No, he is kneeling over the dead body of yet another assistant/slave I pushed too hard.Graham, am I correct in assuming the kneeling gentleman is the art director, trying to assess skin tone value?
Trouble is, the minute you pare down to 3 lenses, all the work shifts to the three lenses you don't have. It's the "gear" rule of thirds.In re gear we really need versus what we have:
At the end of the day I can generally do 95% of any shooting assignment with only three lenses. In 35mm those would be a 28, 50 and 85 (or close to that), in 4x5 it would be a 75, 150 and 300, in medium format it would be a 55, 80 and 150.
The problem is I need all the other stuff to cover the extra 5%... (Yes, abandon hope!)

And a totally OT tidbit:
This happens to be a shooting spot for our Southern France "Gourmet Photography" shoot whenever we get it scheduled, maybe when the dollar recovers a bit like spring 2010...
Can I sign up now? If I avoid all the temptation of the 28mm, the 45-90mm, and the new 150mm, I might be able to save enough in 2 years!
Perhaps, but to be fairBob is there a push and pull theorems along with your squeeze theorem? Perhaps this will accelerate my half life, T1/2 to a faster rate.
Sure you can, but this one is likely to be a bit more expensive that our normal workshop. I have already arranged lodging (5 days in Arles, 5 in Avignon), group transportation in luxury busses, breakfast and gourmet dinners (or lunch) for every day, figure models for Les Beaux, figure models with Gypsy wild horses running in the surf on the Cremargue, a Bullfight in the Nimes arena, private evening reception/tour of the Van Gough museum in Arles, AND museum an shopping tours each day for the significant others you may want to bring that don't want to go to the photo destinations.And a totally OT tidbit:

Uh no... Chateaubriand with seared Foie Gras, accompanied by an unassuming Borgonne and succulent local Sauternes. Followed by a bitter greens salad with a Margoux. And of course, a perfect Gran Marnier Soufflé for dessert.These days we might just have to settle for a bit of bread, a bottle of wine and some Lyon sausage

this is a test
Wait I am putting this quote in the buy and sell section:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:Bob, I can save you the formula... I call it the "Flesher Ideal Gear-Flow Law." The simple result is, "The density of your wallet approaches zero as the volume of your gear increases toward ideal."
