Cracker of an image Jeroen - and what a subject :toast:

Can't wait to see more - if they are all like this then that was a trip well worth making :wavey:

The only thing I find scary is in your techs - 600mm on a Sidekick - you're more trusting than I would ever be :biggrin: :biggrin:

Hi Andy,

Thanks for your comment.
About the Sidekick...
I was affraid it would not work either, but i am very pleased with the way the combination works, so for now i will stick to it.

Greetings,
