    What a horror to lose the camera. Even worse on a beautiful day such as this, when it is such a pleasure to be out in rural Alberta !!!

    Yeah, it was a bummer. There is never a good time to have to replace camera equipment. It looks like I was out of commission for a week. I had thought that it was longer than that.
    I went to a Contax 147 with a 50 and 135 mm lens. I still have it, but I replaced it in about 2003 with a Canon EDS 3. I was much more careful when using a tripod after this incident. I have a much heavier tripod, and I weigh it down if I plan on sitting a camera on it for any extended period.
