Nice! Background mountains are illuminated "just so."

Despite an absurd amount of overlap in my lens collection (as in probably ten or so lenses that share a chunk of its range) there are things the Pro zoom do for me none of the others can. Mine's not going anywhere, but I probably should weed out some of the redundancy.

Yeah, I sold my 150mm F2 to finance the 40-150 initially, and I don't regret it much, just because of the amount of versatility I gained, even if I do miss the little tuna on occasion.

"Bluebird day?"

A bluebird day is when it's calm, cloudless, and serene....  We don't get too many of them.  Here's an example that wasn't from yesterdays climb, but was the exact same kind of day.

Cheers,

Rick
