The Grand Canyon is simply spectacular. What lens did you use?

Well, sometimes there are other things to looks at besides exacting sharpness.

The DA 70mm LTD is near the top of my "want" list, just not sure if I want it at it's current price of $700.

weird, I think this may be the first thing I have purchased that went up in value. My favorite is the 43ltd btw.

The coloring of the first ist fantastic - "linear" from blue to red.
But i like most the second pic. I can't say anything to lens, because don't have enough experiences with lenses and own only kit lenses now.

Nicely shot Bob. The most difficult place to photograph. It is just so grand.

Dave, you could do like Chevy Chase in Vacation did when visiting the Grand Canyon, that would help cut down on time.

You are right about that Susan, we did have a bright sunny day, almost too sunny in fact and very windy. I appreciate you looking

Fantastic images Bob. These are other worldly - one day perhaps I'll make a trip over there to see this amazing phenomenon.
