  1. both Castro and Che presented my uncle with Leicas during the 1950's --- anyone interested in making an offer on a certified genuine Fidel Castro Leica or Che Gueverra Leica? I'll even throw in a cigar for free.

     

     

     

    April Fool

  2. Spend all your time waiting

    for that second chance

    for a break that would make it okay

    there's always some reason

    to feel not good enough

    and it's hard at the end of the day

    I need some distraction

    oh beautiful release

    memories seep from my veins

    let me be empty

    oh and weightless then maybe

    I'll find some peace tonight

     

    In the arms of the angel

    fly away from here

    from this dark cold hotel room

    and the endlessness that you feel

    you are pulled from the wreckage

    of your silent reverie

    you're in the arms of the angel

    may you find some comfort here

     

    So tired of the straight line

    and everywhere you turn

    there's vultures and thieves at your back

    the storm keeps on twisting

    you keep on building the lies

    that you make up for all that you lack

    it don't make no difference

    escaping one last time

    it's easier to believe

    in this sweet madness oh

    this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

     

    In the arms of the angel

    fly away from here

    from this dark cold hotel room

    and the endlessness that you feel

    you are pulled from the wreckage

    of your silent reverie

    you're in the arms of the angel

    may you find some comfort here

    you're in the arms of the angel

    may you find some comfort here<div>00Fs2Y-29189884.jpg.bc3efc79e24665c396ceae316446e12b.jpg</div>

  3. there are many counterfeit nazi leicas- -- make sure of your source --- easier to find luftwaffen Robot Cameras... plenty of those on Ebay --- if you are thinking of buying a german military leica or one of ANY historical signifigance (belonging to any famous person or given by any famous person) GET DOCUMENTATION AND AUTHENTICATION!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    It's a big risk sight unseen due to the high number of fakes....

     

    Hippies aren't nazi's - they're usually Marxists....

     

    Truly in this world, is there any product you can buy that isn't tainted by coporate wrongdoing, etc... Example...

    If you find a south park episode offensive - follow the money - Viacom owns comedy central - Viacom also owns mtv, vhi, and many movie and movie distribution companies, they also own a tv network --- are you going to boycott Tide because they advertise on Viacom networks? Are you going to boycott all products made by that company?

     

    Whatever floats your boat, you nazi hippie!(grin)

     

    If you can prove it's real, go for it... just expect it to be very expensive!!!!

    Robot cameras were very common issue with the german airforce and army

  4. ACCRA, Ghana - Tourists and scientists were gathering at spots around

    the world for a solar show ラ the first total eclipse in years, which

    will sweep northeast from Brazil to Mongolia, blotting out the sun

    across swathes of of the world's poorest lands.

    Wednesday's eclipse will blot out the sun in highly populated areas,

    including west Africa, where governments scrambled to educate people

    about the dangers of looking at the eclipse without proper eye

    protection.

    In Togo, authorities imported hundreds of thousands of pairs of

    special glasses that consumers cleared rapidly from shelves in the

    capital, Lome. But villagers in the interior won't have access to the

    eyewear and officials called on them to stay home.

    "Please, do not go out and keep your children indoors on solar

    eclipse day," Togo's minister for health said in a message broadcast

    on state television.

    Night will turn to day in the eclipse's route and a corona will glow

    around the edges of the moon as it comes between the earth and the

    sun. But the corona's light can burn eyes.

    In Ghana, where the effect will be particularly visible, people were

    spending about US$1 (about 80 euro cents) for "solar shades" ラ paper-

    rimmed glasses with dark plastic lenses that resemble eyewear used

    for viewing three-dimensional movies.

    Crowds were anticipated in prime viewing points, among them Accra,

    the capital of Ghana, and in Turkey and India. In Ghana, the

    University of Cape Coast will broadcast the eclipse simultaneously on

    the Internet.

    Tens of thousands of tourists were expected along the Turkish

    Mediterranean coast. Astronomers from NASA and Britain's Royal

    Institute of Astronomy also were going to an ancient Roman

    amphitheater in Turkey to view the phenomenon.

    The moon is expected to first begin blocking out the sun in the

    morning in Brazil before the path of greatest blockage migrates to

    Africa, then on to Turkey and up into Mongolia, where it will fade

    out with the sunset.

    Superstition will follow around the world, as it has for generations.

     

    One Indian paper advised pregnant women not to go outside during the

    eclipse to avoid having a blind baby or one with a cleft lip. Food

    cooked before the eclipse should be thrown out afterward because it

    will be impure and those who are holding a knife or ax during the

    eclipse will cut themselves, the Hindustan Times added.

  5. I got the 55mm micro AI lens last month -- I shot an f90x and am

    wondering about the ideal mode for the camera -- do I set it to

    closeup mode, landscape, sports, etc... Which will provide the best

    results and depth of feild as well as best focusing--- anybody have

    any information on this combo? what's the best setting for my

    metering spot or area?

     

    It seems to be a great lens so far and I enjoy using it... any help

    is appreciated...<div>00FgRn-28872884.jpg.bb5c7d6b4f04d138732ec2fe87962997.jpg</div>

    the moon-- -- anybody know anything about this -- got it cheap...

     

    hell maybe I'll open a camera store soon...
