I made it!
 

With only 10 minutes to spare on New Years Eve, I reached the mountain top!

haha.

After a long adventure from Dayton Ohio I rushed in, looked at some heads I was interested in and then spent 5 minutes looking at the XLH1 setup. Very very nice. It's the one time I plan on being in NYC and just knew I had to stop by THE store.

I would love to visit that store someday.

I've given them thousands of dollars of business in the last few years (buying my cameras, lenses, batteries, tapes and almost everything else from them).

I've never had a problem with B&H. Very highly recommended.

Ahh....The place where all good things come from. I do wish to make the trek one day...

I have to admit my jealousy... I've wanted to make the trek for a few years now. Congrats, and I hope you had a great New Year's Eve in NYC...
