Thanks for your generous words. I'm trying to improve my technique all the
time. This weekend I am hoping to find time to write up a report of using
the Giant Easy Guider in all four modes of operation (including the fastest
mode - the f/4 shot of M8 on my web page), since I know that there is quite
a bit of interest in the GEG amongst this group.

Clear skies,
