That's what everyone was pointing towards, except none had the zoom until you really jacked up the price. Our 35mm has never been the same since Cancun. I can take stills, but the shutter seems to have a mind of it's own now, ya never know when it's going to click.

Ok, GGRRRRRRRRRRRRR DEI let Ty Norris get away.

This also sets a precedent that teams with a lot of money can buy their way into not having to qualify on time. This bumps Morgan-McClure #4 team out!!

"Our 35mm has never been the same since Cancun."
