If I have my AF-S on in a manual setting and it can't find the sweet spot, it won't work?

  I have a 18-200 vr on order but I've been having second thoughts after reading more reviews.  Let me know how you make out with that lens as it is my second choice after I mortgage the house. heheh.

Being Canadian is a "dogs breakfast" these days with the immigration here, "every handfuls' a whole new ball game"! heheh (I'm 5th gen Canadian/American)

(the above is not meant to be/sound racist in anyway, just that a "Canadian" now is every race, every religion, every person - which is GREAT in my opinion)

Thats great! Congratulation.  You must be chomping at the bit.

I have the nikon 18-200 vr on order, should be here in a few weeks. Want to upgrade my body from D70s to D200 before June, but I need to earn some more money cause I just spent all my photo money on the lens. 

Henry's Camera in Ontario have a good deal. You can trade in any equipment purchased from them before the end of the first year and they will give you half back what you paid (excluding batteries and cards) so thats why I only have until June.

Can't wait to see some new photos from you new body!

Do you remove the snow from the edge of your roof or is it too high? You can get a special shovel at the hardware store to do this or put on "heat lines" along the edge to avoid this.

This happened in my bathroom two days after I re-decorated and ruined the one corner so we got heat lines now is spots.

Hope it stops soon! Poop!
