Shhhh..... just for the photo group

[F.Gordon]

Hopefully no one will make a stink about this. Since I'm not using this list for commercial purposes I don't see any reason not to provide it here for your benefit.

First.... to those new D200 owners complaining about how big and bulky it is. This is the largest camera ever made. Weighed 1400 pounds, took 10 people to move, and used 8' x 4 1/2' "film".



Now the list. Keep in mind that most of these "call for entries" require an entry fee. I haven't checked out all these so I might have screwed up on a couple and the list itself may not be 100% correct.

Go for it!!!
