Simply trying to do my part but I'm only one bank account... :)

So envious!

Simply the result of scrimping, saving and taking back the empties...

The Duck Guild has very strict work rules and I can't afford that much stale bread to cover the overtime. LOL...

I'll PM you my address, so that the next time your bank account feels happy you can do some additional work on the economy.

Hadn't thought about it really. I may have to rent one to see how it fares...

I think getting an effective 672mm @ f/4 ought to be sufficient for my needs but an effective 960mm might be fun to try (the f/5.6 would be the limiting factor.)
