[QUOTE="RobV, post: 630133, member: 40570"] Sparky, that is my conundrum. I have a nice enough rig, D300, 300mm f4 AF (old, screw-focus)[FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#000000], Lensmaster gimbal, and an iffy tripod - Dolica GX650B204. I figure, I can sit back and enjoy the show without worrying if I am getting my settings right, blah blah blah. Any photos I might take, would pale in comparison to anything else I will find on the internet. I might set up my rig for full corona. I already have Mon. and Tues. off work, and The Path is about a 3-4 hour drive from home. But I thought, with the lens I have, I could just buy a 39mm ND filter to slide into my drop-in filter slot, which would make for quick switchouts. Just put a piece of electrical tape over the opening during totality. [/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
