soeren_engelbrecht1 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 OK, so I came up with a joke - Here goes: Q: Why did the Leica collector count the number of individual corn flakes when he bought a packet of Kellogg's ?? A: He wanted to know the cereal number... Please don't take this personally, anyone :-) Cheers, Soeren (Who, myself, have accumulated way to much camera stuff over the years to claim "not gulity" of the above phenomenon :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asher Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 What version flakes were they?<p>The classic version II (pre-fiber) have the BEST crunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutz Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 While you seem to be making fun of the Kellog's collector, rather, I'm very fond of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pun">puns</a>. And yours I hadn't heard before! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrian bastin Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Dear Leica and Rangefinder Forum My Summicron lens has had a sudden loss of mystique. Can this be repaired by Sherry at 'Golden Touch' or is it an inherent weakness of early production lenses (radio-active decay, for instance) Thank you. It's serial number is 103*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian bastin Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Sorry, that should be 103****, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumpton Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 1925 Kellogg's boxes (unopened, of course, and kept in safety deposit boxes, are apparently now selling at three times the value of similar mint condition, unused, Branacks), so we shouldn't knock the collector value of the K giant, serial number or not.

adrian bastin Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Arthur, all the more reason, that's the point. We are making fun of our own hidden collector. Better to earn a fiver with a good photograph than five hundred by keeping the camera on the shelf, unused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icuneko Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 At least this collector is not a cereal killer. Probably from Cornwall too. And a real milquetoast at that. So quit Hektoring him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
