Buddy; Great use of Excel! I've thought about 'specialized bags' too. But I
come back to thinking that if I go out with just a macro bag, that'll be the
time
the alien spaceship hovers abouve the trees and I'm there with an 80/4 that
can't
focus on it! Or something like that.
You say above that you have a hard time just going out to photograph. It's not
clear to me why you do? Is it time itself, or does it have to do with the bags?
thanks
george
