What a truly Pathetic scene.... Here in vancouver, the cop probably would have tasered the

kid to death though, so I shouldn't be too critical. Can't wait until the goon squad is out in

full force on every corner in every city in the North American Union!! Then I'll finally feel truly

safe!!! Homeland Security indeed!

Try loading up some delta 3200, dropping 2 hits of blotter... wait for things to get weird, and

document the unfoldings (?)

i really like thr skopar 25mm... it vignettes like nuts, but i never would have been able to

afford the leica or zeiss! and now i can shoot very sharp, contrasty wides, with a well built

and designed lens! yaaaaay!

Some photographers, myself included, prefer shooting street from the hip, on the fly, with

zone focusing, on a manual film-based camera, with no meter, and find the more forgiving

lattitude of Black and White film to be more suited to our 'style' than colour. (?)<div></div>

I much prefer a FILM based leica with interchangeable LENSES!!.. :-)

But that's Just me!

throw it in the garbage! The are AWFUL!! and they scratch up your camera to boot... I bought

an m4-2 that came with one, used it twice, and threw the dreaded thing away! Errr..okay I

didn't throw it away, it's around here somewhere... but with all of the fiddling and fussing,

you may as well use a sekonic and be done with it! Anybody want mine? (MR)...

Holy COW!!! WAAAAYYY over your heads!! I was being a bit sarcastic, that's all guys! I think it

is ridiculous that wer'e on about pinching pennies here, at the Leica forum, that's all...

In fact, I have calculated that if I self process 10,000 rolls of my own film, I will have saved

over One Million (that's right.... a million) dollars!!!!! I better get started now!!! The real

question is: How am I going to invest all of that smart money I've saved taking photos??

anyone? anyone at all??

Yeah, it's Waaaaaaaay smarter to shoot digital!! I only shoot film because I am really, REALLY

stupid! I bow down and tremble before the mighty, mighty M8!!! Next time I blow up a delta

100 neg to 30"x50" I'm probably gonna shoot myself in the head, because it's waaaayy too

expensive, and it sucks compared to digital..... weep, weep. Yeah, none of us Leica owners

can afford to print film, I mean we bought leicas, because wer'e very poor, and it's all about

being thrifty, saving money, and the like! I mean if I was rich, I'd buy a really expensive, even

overpriced camera! Leicas are for poor people. POOR PEOPLE!!!

Youxin is a very reliable, honest and meticulous guy, who obviously loves what he does!! I

bought an M3 from him on Ebay, and felt it wasn't as described, and he refunded my money

plus postage BEFORE I returned the camera, and then sent me a cheque for the cost of return

postage... a gentelman!!!! Sherry is IMHO a bit overpriced.
