If it weren't for the White Mountains of New Hampshire or Acadia National
Park in Maine or the beautiful New England fall foilage, I'd be incredibly
jealous that one can so easily travel to such places as Zion/Bryce/Capital
Reef etc.
With respect to the 21mm, I just sold a 17mm Tokina that I played with for a
year. Though I'm no techician when it comes to rating a lense, this one was
very good. What I realized was I didn't need to see such an extreme angle
of view. I rarely used. When I did, I was sometimes confronted with
vignetting. A small issue, to be sure, but it was just another reason to
sell it off. The 24mm I just purchased is wide enough. My 2cents.

Zuiks,
I believe I'm going to scan a tranny both with & without the mask and see
how it turns out. I'll either let the list know or post 'em to my web
site.

next month to hold the OM hardware I'm taking there.. Zuikoholism is
raging here. And I'm still looking for a 100/2 and a 21/?

Interesting idea. Would reduce the total dynamic range of the slide that
the scanner sees. Might get more shadow detail that way. I'm just
speculating. You'd have to have perfect mask alignment. And you'd
probably have to pump up the contrast once you scanned it. Might be
worth a try.
