Oh, he is. And I will
I've got a bunch of DNGs that I need to sort through from his brother's 4th birthday party at the zoo, I'll post them as I get through them. Switching jobs soon, so I'll have a lot more time for camera-nerditry (a 160 mile round trip commute hasn't been good for motivation as far as hobbies go).
That birthday party is how I got the 70-210mm lens; I just mentioned to the aforementioned cunning father-in-law "now I want a zoom lens" (I spent half an hour trying to get a decent picture of a duck from too far away), next thing I know I had a tracking number. He really screws up the time-honored tradition of disliking ones inlaws.
