I hooked into a carp last weekend on the river I was canoeing down. He drug me 300 yards upstream before I could get the canoe beached and fight him properly. What ridiculous fun.
I previously worked for 3M, in their orthodontic products division. They make a UV light curable adhesive used for placing brackets on teeth – I don’t know a ton about it, but it’s probably somewhat similar to what you had listed. I’ll talk to a sales rep I know and see if he can offer any more info about it…
Well there’s a nice Old Towne Discovery 169 in the Garage Sale that would probably meet your needs perfectly, but I don’t know how you’d get it up there.
I can see where TWRA is coming from; the carp is a “mistaken introduction” fish, an invasive non-native immigrant that outcompetes native fish.
Ok, looks like we’re looking at a D80 for certain, retail $900 for the body, no word on the bundled lens, if any, yet.
I actually did float an idea similar to that – I would go to Korea and review the production facilities and conditions.
What good timing on this thread – I am currently nearly ready to make a digital purchase. I’m swaying between the Nikon D200 and the Canon 30D – it looks like it’s going to go the way of the Nikon. I’m not a pro, but have been heavily involved in photography for 20 years, working for newspapers, universities, etc. I’ve used Nikon in the past so I’m comfortable with the Nikon menu system. I really think the 5D is amazing but I can’t justify spending that much if it isn’t my profession. The difference between the D200 and the 30D really comes down to a Honda vs. Toyota debate, in my eyes. They both seem to be a great product with a few features that oust one another here and there. I hate to say it, but in the end, I like how the Nikon sits better in my hand than the Canon does – which is somewhat influencing my decision. Scary, but true.
Anyway, thought I’d chime in here.

Hey DMK –
I can’t run it on this slow old computer, but I definitely want to have it in the quiver in the near future.
