I went out on Sunday to take pictures in the area again. I was a big shot strutting around with two camera bodies. At first the Minolta X370 was equipped with a 75-205 mm lens and a 2x telextender (yielding 410 mm) and my Nikon D40 had my 10-20 mm Sigma. After lugging this combination around for an hour I went back home and switched to the 35mm Minolta with a .46x attachment (yielding 16mm) for the Minolta and my old faithful 44-200 mm Nikkor for the Nikon D40. That was a lot easier to carry. I must say it was good to carry two focal lengths since I didn't have to change lenses. I looked like a real hotshot walking around and that made me feel good. I'm glad nobody bought the Minolta when I tried to sell it. It's still fun to use.
Nikon D3100 with Tokina 28-70mm f3.5, (I like to use a Vivitar .43x aux on the 28-70mm Tokina), Nikkor 10.5 mm fisheye, Quanteray 70-300mm f4.5, ProOptic 500 mm f6.3 mirror lens. http://donschaefferphoto.blogspot.com/
