Enjoying the albums, Henry. You're telling us a very good story. Wonderful.
Could you give some minor details on the A7xx please.

Doc, I was going to suggest that you look here on the Sony site to get full info about the newest A7xx DSLR, but I see that it isn't there. Strange.

Fortunately, I see that David was kind enough to provide specs for Sony's newest A7xx body:

Wonderful photos here and on your website Henry.. But... Please tell me I didn't jump the gun by buying an a700 a few months ago....If I even hinted at wanting a new camera now, Dannelle would shoot me slowly with dull bullets.. John

John, no worries. You latched on to the latest, newest Sony A7xx DSLR so relax.

I was sure that people on this forum would know what I meant immediately.

I don't recall seeing this specific woman. You can check my photos to see if she might be in the background of one of them though. When did you take this photo?

2 or 3 yrs ago, I,ll have a look on your photos,
the funny thing about that, on the front page of Flikr this picture came up and I thought somebody stole it from me, turned out somebody took an almost identical photo of her and as luck would have it,it appeared on the front of Flickr as I was viewing, I emailed the guy that took the photo and showed him them both together, pretty amazing.
Did you get to the cu chi tunnels, that was another insight

Wow, that sure is a coincidence!

Yes, I went there in 2000 and again on this trip. Here is a photo of me there in 2000:

Hi Bakubo,

It was interesting to see this thread evolve! : )

You did have me thinking that you finally made it to the list of the Alpha testers around the World for a second or two, if I hadn't already read your complaints on the control wheels earlier on.

In fact, I think that you're one of the most accreditable travelling persons for precision & feature testing of the Alphas or any other cameras produced by the Sony envisioners. Better join the team for future developments than have to shout loud and irritated to make them 'notice' that there are users out there looking for better 'caring'.

The photos are looking very promising. I only had very limited time up until now and mainly had an overall look at your photos in the gallery /blog. I am looking forward to taking a closer look to understand your trip better when I have just a little more time for the Internet. : ) Exciting to see Vietnam through your view-finder!!

Oh, and nice smiling face through a hole in the ground there. Usually, such faces are less lifefull under an other circumstance; you're a happy undergrounder... : )

That man in the boat looks as if he has some French ancestry not just local!

Well, as we all know the French had ample opportunity a few decades ago to plant their seed in Vietnam. This man may very well have some French blood in him.

Hi Henry, : )

Finally, fully enjoyed your many observations of Vietnam in your frames!

One of the sets where disabled people are earning their living making beautiful artcrafts especially impressed me. You certainly walked around and through some places that are not entirely for 'touristic' interest.

The markets, the deltas, the sleeping cyclo-drivers, baskets, brick factory workers ...and many others certainly give a good insight of your journey. : ))


Thanks for sharing,

Yildiz
