Okay. I don't feel so bad about skipping over a Winder2 for a cheapie winder
now! I wasn't trying to catch you or anything, John.
(I bought a new-in-box off-brand winder for $30 last month. It's loud as can
be but I can make panoramas with it and the 28mm
rather than buy the Tamron 17 $$$ that I really want. Maybe if the economy
improves and IT gets up off its knees... Maybe not!)
All the best,
Lama
