That was my plan originally too in this thread - return the 60mm and get the 
50mm and see how things go. I guess I will do that.

I am sure the 503CW/P30 is a killer combo, but it will be the "shoot within 100 
feet of a car" type of images rather than "hike 7 hours into wilderness" type, 
unless you are Bob Adler of course :-) (he called me "wimp" when I made the 
"..100 feet of a car" comment)
