 Nice guy.  If all the slr-system people are like him, I can see why 
 you want a separate group.

 Hmmmm.... had a thought of when zooms for 35mm became decent that 
 there were a bunch of people who stuck a 35-70 zoom on the front of 
 their slr and never took it off.  I believe there were some slrs that 
 came standard with such a zoom.  I imagine folks with digital 
 slr-system cameras who have done that probably ought to be directed to 
 the zlr group.  Hey, Thad, what do you think?
