Thanks. Well, I am into it - but only as a spectator. Speed (esp. on 2
wheels) is such an intoxicating thing. The panning isn't easy, the failure
rate is high. Perseverance and cheap film help, and I try to remind myself
of tips while I'm standing there.

Mine rarely comes out of the case. I find I'm not one for telephoto shots -
even the 65-200 stays at home most of the time these days. Perhaps if I took
it out more often I'd find a way to use it. Someone suggested going out with
one lens and making yourself use it, perhaps that's the way.
