I often get asked by e-mail what optics I use, and because I am a Curmudgeon, answering the question becomes wearisome you can't qualify as a Curmudgeon unless you use words like "wearisome." For this reason I have written a little essay called "My Optics" that talks about everything I own (and some things I used to own) and what I like and don't about them. It's on my blog at: http://oregonreview.blogspot.com Now I need to think up something else to be crusty about, sigh. -- Alan Contreras Eugene, Oregon acontrer56@xxxxxxxxx I blog at: oregonreview.blogspot.com
