Welcome sandstone. Your going to love your new camera. My girlfriend and I took a long ride on our motorcycles through NM, CO, UT, and AZ last year and that was all the motivation I needed to get back into photography after an long hiatus. I don't miss film a bit and my point and I never reach for my point and shoot digital camera, except for the occasional shots on my iPhone.
Enjoy!

Thanks baro-nite. We surely are blessed with some great scenery here in NC, and Linville is one place I return to pretty frequently. Most of our favorites are along the BRP, but we've found a few places within a couple of hours from our home in Charlotte that we like as well.

Thanks for the heads-up. Now you won't have to rely on your imagination!

Not what I expected to find in the middle of February in the mountains (we missed the snow by about 4 hours), but still, great weather (overcast) for shooting moving water..

Dan! So I came back to read this, just to see how many others could relate to my near miss. What are the odds! If you really weren't going to keep the lens, I'll be happy to take you up on your offer. Very cool and greatly appreciated. Your karma account will certainly get a nice deposit.

So I've been trying to hunt down a good deal on an F 50MM 1.7 lens. I actually had this lens years ago on an SF1 and gave the camera and lens away. I'll never do that again, it would likely be spending lots of time on my K20D now. Anyway, today I spotted a new listing with no bids on eBay, so I asked if they'd be interested in a "buy now" offer of $150 (it was a no reserve listing at o.oo). Twenty minutes later I notice a reply in my inbox, they accepted my offer!!! BUT, then it says "we've updated the listed with the "buy it now price"!!! Of course, I pull it up and it had sold within one minute of the change!!!!! (I really thought I'd get a heads-up first!). Anyway, if you're the person that got that sweet deal, congrats to you, how about buying me a beer!

We're pretty spoiled here in NC, but I was in AZ, UT, NM, and CO over the summer on a long motorcycle ride and can't wait to get back out there. You've got some jaw dropping sights out there!

Beautiful Day of hiking. Not a cloud in the sky, so contrast was a challenge this day, especially on the ridge. Still, sometimes the contrast is what makes the shot. I think a polarizer filter would have helped me tame the sky a little; I've since added on to my hiking pack.
