Dave, I didn't find the 31mm limited was a bad lens for the South Island. There are so many opportunities... Here are some samples from a trip in the fall of '06. http://picasaweb.google.com/rf.sullivan/Sabbatical http://picasaweb.google.com/rf.sullivan/NewZealand02 I used the 31mm limited extensively in these. The lens has the ability to handle the scenery. Regards, Bob S. On Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 9:00 PM, David Savage <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 08:54 AM 9/04/2008, J. C.
