my son has studied photography and swears by his 17-40mm lens...the same one Vicki uses...he also prefers it as his main lens when out and about. Lucky you...enjoy France!

This driving issue came up for us last night, when I read in F F & 4WD, that there are 35% grades on STJ. Can you get to Coral Bay without those grades? Cause if not, I'm not going. My husband is an ADD driver, looking allllllll over the place and he scares the pi$$ outta me. No way are we doin...
