Hey John –

These are great shots.

[Zach Matthews]

Kevin –

Why don’t you consider waiting, oh, a few more weeks?

[Zach Matthews]

Some very fine images, Aaron.

[Zach Matthews]

YKK certainly has some connection to the ATL – there is a huge YKK sign not far from the airport on a billboard.

[Zach Matthews]

I heard Joel.

[Zach Matthews]

Delete it?

[Zach Matthews]

Gentlemen –

This board is about fishing, not about personality conflicts.

[Zach Matthews]

I wonder if the 50mm f/1.8 AF-S will take bigger filters?

[Zach Matthews]

Kevin –

Just to distill this down, if you are looking for a traditional walk-around lens for a modern consumer digital camera, probably you will want to look for a 35mm f2.8 AF.

However, one lens you should not overlook is the ultra-cheap 50mm AF f1.8.

Aaron –

You and Christine would be most welcome.

Icky –

Most people have preferred to raise this argument (which I have heard many times) with me by private message, but we may as well have this conversation where everyone can see it.

[Zach Matthews]

Hey Martin –

Good to have you.

[Zach Matthews]

This is a very complicated question involving angles of view and compression onto a 2D surface.

[Zach Matthews]

Very interesting.

Hey Tom –

If you are willing to make the drive, the Davidson is your best bang for the buck.

[Zach Matthews]

I think those pads might be made of grippy shelf liner; a spey rod supplier was packaging a small baggie with the grippers for unseating ferrules, paraffin wax for lubricating them, and electric tape to prevent slippage.

[Zach Matthews]

Tom –

Check out the Toccoa, or Duke’s Creek, or if you want a backcountry experience, the Noontootla.

[Zach Matthews]

D50 doesn’t run the SB-600 as slaves; I had forgotten that.

[Zach Matthews]

I think that pretty much settles where we’re headed.

[Zach Matthews]

As far as rods go, 4 weights will be a good compromise.
