albert_smith Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Anyone that has thought that Leica might be spending too much effort and time on retro (as in moving backwards for no good reason) gear and limited editions or complained about pricing and availability of certain things, might get a kick out of this tounge in cheek input on the hard to find Leica calendar.<a href="http://mejac.palo- alto.ca.us/leica-users/v26/msg05439.html"> LINK </a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom h. Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Funny, Albert, and not too far wide of the mark. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark-j Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 The cover is supposedly in Sub-Dye Black Paint, not Black Chrome. The pages are referenced as 1.0, 1.4, 2.8 ....... The dates are in shutter speeds 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30..... Figure that one out. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografz Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Well, the only thing they missed is that Leica wouldn't replace the existing calendars with the screwed up dates, they'd charge you $270 to correct them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_b1 Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 That's an incorrect price for the thumbtack - -it's last year's, and it should be 10% higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_. Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 How dare that guy make such a sarcastic poke at Leica, he doesn't have any photos posted to photo-net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reading_symphony_rso Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Uh,Jay...yes I do. You might want to look at my picture of the week section in particular, which was shot almost entirely with Leica cameras and lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_. Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Thanks for the link. I've been saying all along that one's photographic talent isn't a measure of one's knowledge of Leicas and their foibles and inanities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
