On the way to Las Vegas, then to Miami, then to... oh, Steve, you will be missed, but M8 will always be in good hands;)
 
thats pretty sweet:-) would like to know how going through airport security goes for you guys:-P good luck!
 
Awesome Ketch, just curious why not the rest of the MP's or your RPP's -- is it because of size/weight? 18mm and 75mm as your only primes doesn't seem like a lot .... but I know how thorough you are so there must be a reason ;)
 
Looks awesome

Hey Ketch
Are those batteries "carry on approved"?
Looks like you are in for a great adventure!

Yes this are the Bebob 90, not 140 like the Red Bricks, so okay for air travel, we'll have them on board.

Yeah this Focal were chosen do to the shoots that I we'll be doing, and I brought eh Fantastic little RPZ 17-50, plus the 300mm
for long shots, as well as extreme close ups on the Fashion Shoots, to mix with the Master Primes, as both the RPZ's both of
them, ann all RPP's are very sharp and cut well with Master Primes, of course if we space and size and weight was no issue I
would have had both sets of Master Primes and Red Pro Primes. ;)

Woot! We have just locked in our schedule for Chicago!

Andrew Benz will be so gracious to host us with another good friend of mine, Peter Mosiman, co-hosting.

I'm totally looking forward to being back in one of my most beloved American cities! :)
