those who live in Edmonton ?

Those who live in canada??
I need a favor.
Not only for me but for the whole community forum
If someone has a D-SLR, and lives near Edmonton, it would be so kind as to contact the user tranq78
He has two lenses ( fa* and A* 300mm f/2,8 ) , but does not have the reflex to do a comparative test, and sull'IQ Pfriming.

thanks

Maybe you should rephase the question "those who live in Edmonton"

Understand Canada is 3,500 to 3,800 kilometers wide by road, depending on the highway you take.

It's just short of 8,000 km or 5,000 miles from coast to coast. Population about 34,000,000.

By car you'd get almost to Blind River, Ontario before you ran out of kilometers.

That's what you get for going metric.

Which roads are these and just how many lanes wide are they?

He's talking about the width of Canada, not of the roads.

Really? Or is that the width of the roads? I think they are something like 1 chain wide.

Read properly it is the width of Canada.

66 feet = 1 chain is the minimum required width of a two lane highway in Canada.

Do I discern a incomplete commitment to the metric system? Come on, go for it: as someone once said, "You have nothing to lose but your chains!"

Wheatfield as his name suggests is a hayseed from out west. He refereed to the old method of measuring distances. Strangely although we've been metric here for years the most use is still in feet, not even yards and not meters.

Liked your quote.
