  1. A common complaint was the speed, but for my purposes that's no factor. I've always wanted one of these but the prices were a bit out of range. I finally found one that's not pretty, but functional at a great price; it's all I need, especially if I'm going to be on the trail with it. I've seen pictures of the DOF scale on version 2... it looks like an electronics wiring diagram!
  2. Just what I needed to see Bill, excellent. I just purchased a 28-35-50 MATE (first version) with hiking and landscapes in mind, it's nice to see how well it performs in the wild. I have an Alaska trip planned for next month and except when I need to use my 21/2.8 Elmarit, I plan to keep it attached as much as possible. The frequent lens changes slowed me down and dust getting on the sensor was a constant battle!

  5. Thanks Christopher. This was shot wide-open; my Summitar copy is a rare coated example from the last batch made after Summicron production had begun.

  11. Hi Barry, I just now finally found the literature they gave us for the train trip; I'm in the process of unpacking after a move and it was in a box. It's definitely labeled the "White Pass & Yukon Route." (I left out the "&" in my original post.) Unfortunately there was no mention of the term "Dead Horse Pass," although it was noted that prior to the railway construction, over 3000 horses died because of the "tortures of the trail and the inexperience of the stampeders."

  15. Thank you Michael! My last visit was ten years ago and my appreciation for this park increased many times over this time around; I was able to see some lesser visited areas, particularly the Schoodic Peninsula. As for this image, I was happy with the composition, but I wish the sun angle had been lower. Unfortunately, sunrise there this time of year starts at 4:30 AM!
