Welcome back

<p>JDM,<br>

It isi good to see you posting again to this forum.<br>

Many of us have missed you, and your tremendous knowledge.<br>

I hope you will be posting a lot more.</p>

<p>AW.... Gaarsh......Shucks. Thanks.</p>

<p>Of course, I do understand this may be in the nature of the "<a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WeWantOurJerkBack">We want our jerk back</a>" trope. ;)</p><div></div>

<p>Salve Magister!</p>

Didn't you miss us a little? We're you checking up every so

often?

<p>Yes, I confess I did miss you-all. And in time, I got passed my pique.</p>

<p>We definitely missed your periodic polyspheroid water tower ;)</p>

<p>When encountering difficult personalities online, Zen is your friend. Welcome back.</p>

<p>Gee, I passed up a number of water tower shots during your absence, thinking you would be the only one to appreciate them.</p>

<p>I've always enjoyed JDM's stuff, though I suspect him of having found a magical water tower that snaps those mirror lenses into focus. My luck has not been nearly that good.</p>

<p>Come on, lets see one of those towers</p>

<p>JDM,</p>

<p>Illegitimi non carborundum!</p>

<p>I do know when my chain is being pulled, but regardless, here is the object of your heart's desire:</p><div></div>

So let me also say Welcome Back! Gald you're not passed your peak, but indeed past your pique! The

umm rare black Kiev should be displayed too.. I always approved of your reminders' that we must have our

camera ..umm well... porn

<p>That polyspheroid will never stop being the butt of jokes...</p>

<p>Good to see you and your knowledge back here, JDM. It's not just anyone what quotes Kadlubek when posting...<br>

<p>The polyspheroid above does indeed look like a butt.</p>

<p>I'm easy, aren't I?</p>

<p>Here is the Contax II in all black, a form Zeiss themselves neglected to make. Note the 5<em><strong>s</strong></em>m Sonnar.<br /> Ain't it pretty?</p><div></div>

<p>5sm -- an easy mistake to make. Someone Ukrainian must have been mentally transliterating it as a Cyrillic "C" to a Latin "S," as indeed <em>would </em>be appropriate for most words. It must be 5 CMEHAmeter lens...<br>

<em>--Dave</em></p>

<p>glad your back jdm I a few restorations and modded cameras I want you to see</p>

Welcome back, JDM. You have been missed.

<p>Welcome back from me too....although you have been back for a little while, so I may have welcomed you twice! The black "Contax" looks the business, as does the misspelled Sonnar. Just sold all my Contax cameras, but I still do have a Kiev in the cupboard....might have to get out the black spray paint :)</p>

<p>Always held out hope that you would return</p>
