Red, WTF?You've posted this pic of every rich short ugly white guys' fantasy before!Talk

about beating a dead horse!Or is this another 'Blonde Joke'?

I agree Paul.I'll be buying mine when the new pancake lens comes out this month.This

Nikon D70 I have owned for the past 5 months has not exceeded my

expectations,despite what the critics have proclaimed.Judging from other peoples

results,and my own experiments,the Pentax will.The istD is the most Leica like DSLR at this

point in time.And I don't care if anyone agrees.

Pardon me.In Canada,the word 'color' is spelled as 'colour'.We,as a nation, are far too

polite to insist that it not be spelled otherwise.Even when people come to Canada to

live.So nowadays,colour is slowly changing to color.Have I made myself understandably

clear?

I don't bring any baggage to this shot.I don't know what a Vuitton bag looks like.Strange

photo though sk,very nice.Pretty women in fact.But strange overall just the same.

Over the past year I've fired 3 Toronto area so-called "Pro" labs for shoddy film

development work.As a result,I no longer shoot colour film.Digital replaces that,and only

because I cannot get consistant ,high quality colour film processing.I do my own B&W

processing and I never have issues of dirt ,streaking or incorrect loading of film in

development apparatus.I'm currently considering a Jobo system for colour film(E6,C41).For

all I care,all those recreational drug influenced,and/or alcoholic lab rats(students) can go

flip burgers or make tacos.

A mental picture occurred to me of all these people in one room together talking

specification,acronym,speculation,rumour,fact,near fact,argument,counter-argument.What

a great 15 second Canon t.v. spot that would be!..........Us Leica types can't compete with

all the acronyms.Unless we get to talking....lenshoods!

I'm sorry M.Danger,maybe it's the lense,but they appear to be slightly overweight

midgets.Am I missing something here?Maybe some Americana mythology related to the

sport of baseball?

Fifth-Show up at sellers abode with several cans of oven cleaner and demand a full refund

and then some for defective lens purchased in good faith.

This is an exercise I found worthwhile. Go for a walk.No camera.Pay close attention as to

how something that interests you, is perceived by you.When at home choose a lens,go

back and make the exposure(s) as you had visualised it.Obviously,this method does not

work

for street photography as it requires extensive experience in pre-visualisation.Regardless,

you'll have your hands full just following the advice of "pay close attention as to how

something that interests you,is perceived by you". Good Luck!

Mmmm Edmo,stunning example of inferred malice.Time to show who's Boss with the

Ruger Alaskan.

Lookin' good Alex.By the way,in reference to recent events on this forum,what was the real

reason(s) that Claude le Batman had his M leica painted yellow?Care to speculate?

Okay Tom,now that I've read this thread and your response,and it was funny, and you have

useful information,all is well.If you still insist on prattling on about megapixels and public

autoeroticism,carry on.This is the Leica Forum.

Like I said awhile ago in another post Eric,I don't participate in that racket anymore.Or

more accurately,I don't allow that racket to infuence my daily life or to structure my self

esteem.You could say ,I no longer choose to participate in what is an essentially a service

industry.I'm into manufacturing.FCUK the Hype.FCUK the personality cults.I tired long ago

of being on standby to help some actor,producer,DP,or whatever get rich while I faced

financial ruin between jobs.If you analyse that racket rather comprehensively,you'll find it a

classically stuctured pyramid scheme.Good Luck!
