Yeah. I tend to sleep though the interesting parts of this thread too...!

Me too! And I live left, right and in the middle of those chatty time zones!

Good morning Beth, my hands look like your avitar well, when I'm not typing in this message any way.

Mornin' Becky! What did you get.... about 5 hours of sleep?

Yeah, that is about it. The dog got me up.

Morning ladies and gentlemen!

Any more than that is a waste of precious time anyway.

I feel weird if I get much more than that. Other than being ill 7hrs is about a record for me in the last 20 yrs, and I did one of those just the otther day after a night with only a couple hours in.

Now, my wife, 8 hrs is the norm, my 16 yo son would do 12+ hrs if you let him.

Lets see, normally 10:00 to 5:00, guess that is 7 hours. But, doesn't seem to matter when I go to bed, I will wake up at 5:00, now I may go back to sleep for a bit.

I also know how to power nap...20 minute nap and I'm good to go. No doubt that will occur this afternoon.

I love power napping, difficult with a 5 year old tho...I usua;;y manage one during football onSundays'. Its amazing what you learn to sleep through once you have kids.

Woo-hoo just pressed the button on my tubes!!

Oh man, I'm jealous. Where did you get them?

Good morning all.

Amazon actually had the best price, about $160.00 shipped.

Congrats, Crissa you will love them...and remember they aren't just for macro. I used them when I had too much lens to get one of those lizard shots. Was sitting to close, if I got up, he would scamper, so I slowly changed over to one of the tubes and was able to obtain focus.

cool stuff......... tubes add a whole new versatlility to all your lenses (every one will now focus closer).
I use a 31mm tube on my 100-400 quite a lot coz it's 1.8 metre minimum focus distance is a bit of a joke... (really good for butterflies that setup)
