with any luck, we'll have a real world comparison Saturday. wait... I just realized Dave only has the SP, not both. I'm not in a position to buy a DO by Saturday. not sure what we'll accomplish. Rob, send me your DO... I'll send it back--- PROMISE!

What's the other half of the "both" that I don't have?

I thought we'd be able to compare side by side the DO and the SP 37" DO-ish modifiers

I think they want to shoot a subject.

Perhaps Wilbur will volunteer to participate, Dave.

I wonder if I can file a lawsuit against the OP ;) for posting this AFTER i just shelled out for the REAL deep octa? :lol:

I'll have to consult the famous law firm of Dewey Cheatem N How. When they get done with ya, there won't be a scrap left on your bones. :lol:

Everyone's a comedian tonight.

Mark, I'm a sucker for a good Three Stooges reference. ;)

We'll have some useful stuff to add to the discussion.

Maybe I can convince a guy I know at Calumet to let me have a DO and return it on Monday. :-)

Yes, that I understand. It was the "I just realized Dave only has the SP, not both"comment that had me puzzled, Rob.

I don't think Wilbur's "skin" would tell us very much and Millie's isn't much better:

Me thinks part of the confusion is that there are two David/Dave people participating in this thread.

Just to keep things clear, I'll go by David and DF can go by Dave. (Unless he prefers something more noble. :-) )

Of course! Mystery solved. Well done David.

Dave is plenty noble enough. We have a workable solution. However, henceforth, no one else named Dave/David can join POTN.

At least not before paying homage and prostrating themselves before the dynamic duo of Dave/David. :-)
