Hi everyone,



My bad...had no intention of replying to Doris with the whole Tweeters list copied.? I intended to do it off-list, sorry.? My excuse (other than old age and feeble mind, which unfortunately occurred before old age) is that I was on?an unfamiliar?computer at school with little time and thought I had taken tweeters off the cc list.



But since I replied and Bill Anderson also chimed in, yes there are other rigs below the full-meal-deal that work well, and are in between a digicam and a full professional SLR setup.? My favorite higher end setup that doesn't require a tripod is a Canon SLR body with Canon's 400mm DO (diffractive optics) lens.? This lens (which is expensive) loses a little sharpness compared to their other prime lenses but saves significantly in size and weight.? I can carry that setup around using the lens mount as a handle and it is light enough to handhold in most situations.



Again, sorry for the on-line reply when it wasn't intended...
