Yes, given the number of suggestions I've received that I take a longer
lens, I'm thinking that I'll leave the 24mm at home and use the space to
take a 200. If I do decide to do macro work, I'm going to take a pod. Bill
Barber has me thinking about a monopod though. Definitely useful for the
camera support for a longer lens, probably not as useful for macro but
better than not having any support at all.
