our youngest in front of my magnetic photo wall. i've left the bottom part of it clean, since the little one will play with the magnets if only she could.

i received word about my broken lens yesterday. apparently, the insurance company thinks it'll be too expensive to repair it. or at least so it seems; i'll investigate it further next week. a new lens is SEK 3995 at scandinavianphoto, and kameraservice kungsör will charge SEK 2750 for a total make-over. if i'm not to get my tamron 17-35/2.8-4 back, i've got some ideas of what'll make a good, and possibly more appropriate replacement... what's your opinion on the matter; i've got a nikon d200 (well, it's being repaired), and need a normal zoom for it, what would you suggest?
