Good point about paint , Strong Industrial paint is Needed , hence I have not painted my lenses yet , it has to be done Right , a homemade job might make security Suspicious , However Color Does Matter , as Many have seen Long White Lenses and Recognize them as such , back in the day , people would Admire my Awesome Telephoto rig , recognizing them as a Telephoto Lens , and as far as security goes , at the airport I look for security and explain where I`m going and show them my lenses , they appreciate that , yet it has been some years since I have traveled with those Novoflexes , as I`m retired and digital camera`s have great resolution allowing substantial cropping ,I do not need the Long Lenses for now , the only hassle I get at the airport is when my luggage goes through the scanner , revealing a Four-barreled something , upon opening the bag and showing my tripod ,allways brings a smile of relief to security .

These Days Long WHITE Tubes are recognized as Tele Lenses , anything else could get you pulled over , do know it better , I Am Done with this thread.

Why you are jumping on specifically me is a wonder to me but you are certainly welcome at any rate. It keeps you away from nagging the many others who did the same thing.

I also note you haven’t replied to my comment that you are totally off base and I had directed my comment to malarz about two other posts. You were/are totally off base and wrong. But have at it.

By the way, it is correctly, FEEL the need rather than FELL the need.

I will be hunting most of the day so if you FEEL the need to keep this up I won’t be back until later.

Have a wonderful day,

Dennis

And I could argue your points on the Republican side, because NONE of them had a backbone to push back against his thousands of lies. And I'm NOT a Republucan, and would NEVER identify with them.

Since the age of 7-1/2, I've identified as a Democrat. I've been"Unenrolled" in a party for over 17 years because of my choices in 2000. It gave me the flexibility to vote for the most qualified candidate available at the time of voting. Granted I had to choose a party to support, based on a single candidate, but it became "a lesser of two evils" choice.

trump wasn't a lesser of two evils choice for any educated voter.

Dreams of change put trump into the Oval Office.

But those dreams have turned into NIGHTMARES for many who chose trump in 2016, and those nightmares are just beginning!

In about a month I am going to accompany an Italian visitor around town (Cleveland, Ohio area) for a few weeks. He speaks no English, I speak no Italian. We are both 69-70 years old. I need to purchase two Italian/English translation dictionaries for us to use. Because I was left with a learning disability caused by a massive brain aneurysm 14 years ago, the dictionaries will have to be simple to use. I CAN learn new things, it just takes me longer. I plan on taking him to Cleveland's many wonderful museums and to the Amish communities close to where I reside. The Cleveland area has many ethnic restaurants that we can visit. I know that food, like love, is the universal language.

If any of you can recommend a translation guide or two, I would appreciate it.

Ciao!

Read again please. I think you were so quick to jump someone that you didn't bother to read and understand the whole post I wrote. I said in two recent posts I had read. That does not mean it was THIS post. Mary Kate have you never read something that someone wrote and had a hard time understanding what the message was because wrong words were used?

If you are just trying to, "catch" me, there will be other times. I am definitely not perfect and do make mistakes from time to time. The difference is I will normally thank the person for pointing out my mistake.

Have a wonderful evening,

Dennis
