Hey Zooner and Coolj, you guys may want to check out this book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/157990761X/ref=wl_it_dp/103-7619477-5322202?%5Fencoding=UTF8&colid=2M6XV5V8NVFHF&coliid=I1VCCZ0076LRHQ&v=glance&n=283155 Thanks for the link. I just ordered the other one, the Field Guide.
I have the original Digital Rebel and I love it. I'm sure the XT is even nicer. For lenses, The 35mm f2 and 50mm f1.8 cover nearly all of my needs. The 35mm equivalents are 56 and 80 which are the focal lengths I've used the most for over 40 years with film. I have little use ...
I had to get a part at a ford dealer yesterday and on the way out I wandered through their little showroom which had only four cars in it. There was a white GT and three black Saleen Mustangs, all optioned diferently. Prices ran from $45K to $160K.
When I bought my motorcycle, I placed a last minute bid of $3200, hoping it wouldn't go that high but I was ready to pay if that's what it took. I got it for $2600.
Just when I thought this thread should be ending, something came up last night that calls for additional surgery. That is scheduled for the 14th. It's not a biggie this time but I've got to take all this stuff seriously.
I pick up my news on the internet which was really bogged down at the time. The only source I could get through to was the Financial Times in London. Then I turned on the TV.
