Would love to hear more of your reactions regarding the 32HR. I don't shoot wide that often and have the Schneider 35XL for those few times that I need that kind of FOV. My 35XL has nowhere near the movement capabilities of the Rody 32 but I can squeeze 10mm worth of rise but that's just about it. The 32HR would be a good compliment to my Rody 50mm albeit pricey - but then all the good stuff is.

Hey Victor! It's wider than what I typically need, but I have some shot ideas for the future that need the extra degrees and movement freedom. I don't know if I could justify this lens if I already had a 35XL though even with the extra movement space just due to how little I need to go this wide. I haven't personally tried the 35XL but I am sure it is no slouch.

It is very interesting to see how much people of US are proud of their country and their flag. Not so much in Europe. And not so much in France, specifically. But I don't want to enter into political considerations, particularly at present....
And I love this picture !

Trying to make this apolitical as possible - Something I have consistently heard from Europeans I've talked about this is they see nationalism as extremely dangerous (given WWII). The USA has not had the same experience and so the culture is much more nationalistic on average. Canadians I've noticed also display flags a lot, though probably less than Americans.

Regarding comments about American patriotism and the flag
This is a 1961 story.
At that time all able bodied men were required to serve in the military…I joined the Army and after basic training we marched in a parade in a ceremony where we pledged to defend our country as we officially became members of the U.S. Army.
The parade route took us past an area where we passed the American flag and our sargent bellowed out, “hand salute.”
AS I saluted the flag, I became emotional because I was so proud to be a defender of my country and my flag.
I asked my fellow newly anointed soldiers, if they had a similar reaction and each of them answered in the affirmative.
Much has happened in the last 70 years including the elimination of the military draft (which I think was/is a mistake), but men of my generation mostly are devoted to the flag and our country
