    that looks pretty snazzy. I'm happy you found something that worked out.

    ps is that a row of cameras on your countertop?
    Thanks TE! You pushed me half way over!

    yes it is! i have migrated from one expensive hobby to the next. first it was rc cars...then it was modifying real cars...then it was photography...now it's cycling! i've actually sold off most of my cameras and photography equipment to keep my cycling addiction going. i've gotten rid of all my medium formats...slr's...except couple. but i still have around $6000 worth of point and shoots left...very nice p&s cameras, a few of them worth $1000 a piece.

    but i'm already planning to rid myself of most of them to finance a bling bling road bike (something like a parlee or cyfac...or look if i don't want to bother going custom). it's time to graduate from specialized, though she has served me well!

    yes one expensive hobby to the next. Do you have a darkroom also then? I want a medium format camera but I find the slow death of film to be a bit of a hindrance and if you don't develop the pics yourself, you end up paying a lot more than you should.

    have you figured out what you are doing about the shifters?

    nope, no darkroom. my university charges very reasonable rates for faculty and students. so i use them. if i want ridiculous pro results, i use this commercial place that does print work for national television, movies, and sports...they charge very reasonable rates for individual customers.

    the death of film is what prompted me to starting liquidating my cameras! the rest must go!!!!!!!!!!!

    as far as the shifters...i think i'll try using those specialized shimano shims. if that doesn't do it, i'm going SRAM all over!
