Where is Ken (KPV)

His last post was on the 27 of January, did he go to the Superbowl? It is weird not hearing from him.

Wow Ken!!! From the Sony to the 1Ds??? Are you going into the pro-tog business??? Congrats. I imagine the owner's manual is quite voluminous. Mine was pretty long even for my measeley 10D...

What lense(s) did you get??? We need specifics baby... F-stop and focal length....

Let's not get our turbos in an uproar!!

I am still here, albeit less frequently over the past several weeks. I have been very busy with many things. Alot of big changes going on. Number one is the work vs. 6speed addiction time allowances. I have really been slacking off work for a while because of this site (in all seriousness!) and I need to focus. In any case, I sold the car somewhat abruptly. I was made an offer I couldn't refuse. Oh, and yes, I did buy a Canon 1Ds. Chris, I also have an EF 24-70mm f2.8 L USM IS lens in my possession and an EF 100-400mm f4.0-5.6 L USM IS lens on the way. Wow is this a serious piece of hardware! Thanks Tim for all of your coaching!! I respect and admire your knowledge. By the way, the Sony is up for auction on eBay right now. See it here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ESSE%3AIT&rd=1

Well, thanks for asking about me guys. It is nice to know I was missed!!!

I can only imagine the next incarnation. My bet is on a GT2. He would only need to screw around with the motor since the brakes and suspension will already be trick. That is of course not forgetting GT3 seats, harnesses and roll bar...

You lying pig dog! I knew you wouldn't sell your car. I already have your 24-70L but boy does the 100-400L look nice. I have a 500f4.5L with a 1.4x for heavy duty but the 100-400 would fill a nice little hole. How do you love the new photo beast? You still owe me a nice raw shot.
