Admin note: We moved soem of Woody's gear FS posts from here to the B&S section, but you'll find some residual quotes about how much nice gear he owns My original comment was:
Wow Woody, you really own a lot of nice gear! And here I though I was a gear-a-holic!

Geez Woody just the best there is there. I already sold both kids for lenses , nothing left to sell
Good luck on your sale . I owned a 35-70 2.8 for awhile and man does that lens sing a tune with imaging. Best of luck

Hey don't let me dig back into my files boys , i have a couple winners of both you and Rob
I echo Rob's comments and say thanks for the new forum and wish you the best of luck with it.
I was in Europe with my wife during the week of the Yosemite workshop but I hope to be able to attend one in the future. Sounds like a great experience.
Woody - that's a killer first post!
One image to say here's looking up and hope the new forum sheds a positive light on all our photographic voyages, as I am certain it will.

Thanks so much for the nice comments. We all look forward to the future of the R system and we all have heard the rumors and it sounds leica may give us a knock out punch in the R arena.
Folks one thing also we do have the members gallery were you can post your images up but please if you want to run a post on the the DMR images or the M8 go ahead and please start one. We love to look at images and our forum module is images anywhere you want to put them so let it rip.

Hey Jack
My ratio of lenses to good photos is still greater than one. I decided that since I don't get many great images the best way to improve that ratio is to sell the glass LOL

Well Woody as we have talked about several times on the workshop the M8 for you maybe the better choice overall with just some extra's on the DMR side to keep you honest with macro and tele stuff. Parring down sometimes is actually a good thing. Makes you think differently too

OK here are a couple of photos from Yosemite made during my pre-digital years:
Sooty Grouse in the Glacier Point parking lot. SL & 280 f/4
Coyote next to the road somewhere on the valley floor. SL & 560 f/6.8
Yeah I know it's not a bird but it's a reminder that there's more to Yosemite than gorgeous scenery.

Robert, I am glad you displayed the images of the pioneer and one of the most valuable thread in the history of photographic forum that I came across. If this forum existed back then, all the information would still be here. I am sure the R10 will have its own bible when it arrived.

No question the M8 is my go to kit. Mostly because at my age lugging around a bag full of DSLR's and the (comparatively) huge lenses is getting tougher and tougher. But there are occasions, such as my upcoming trip to Bosque Del Apache to shoot the migratory sand hill cranes) where the DMR and long lenses are a must. The 135 limit of the M8 doesn't cut it for this kind of shooting. I suspect that all I will take on this trip is the 21-35, 35-70 elmarit, 180 APO 2.8 and the 280 APO 4.0 plus the 1.4x extender. This should cover all my needs. I could think about the M8 and 21,28,50,75 and leave the 21-35 R and 35-70 R lenses at home. Have to think this one through. Only good news is that I will be driving to New Mexico so no problems with taking gear on the airplane,
Thanks for the advice

So do i Peter don't know what took Jack and I so long to just build a home ourselves. BTW you are a real member regardless of gear and hopefully you will call this home. I'm going nowhere, this is making me a happy boy. Jack and I are absolutely thrilled to have this many members in less than a week. The beauty of this site is you have the owners, photographers, instructers and forum leaders here with you posting everyday. There is not a another site like this.
