This is getting really off topic but, how's the winter landscape in Norway ?

Here is the link to a handy webcam on the Hardangervidda, at the highest railway station in Norway no less !

It is cold-ish, but will be nicer for outdoor sports in January or so. That might have changed a bit in the last 15 years since I was skiing there, due to the climate changes ?

It's a long country. Depends where you are. Plenty of snow many places, very little (almost nothing) elsewhere.

At least there was a huuuuuuuuge Leica 50mm lens (Noktolux?). That was going to Japan.

Noctilux going to Japan !? But unfortunately not to me ... 🙁

You're lucky--when I was under 20, I didn't have $1,000.....or even close to that.

Congratulations on the good deal. In the long run all that matters is you have got a Leica for life. Enjoy.

I heard good things about http://phobatec.de/. Good prices relative to Denmark at least. I have not bought there myself yet though.

Now, I feel really good am over 20.. congrats 🙂

 

[Spider67]

Cool! It's nice to have some of these things before you are over 40! Enjoy the camera and write about your experiences!

Most probably in a very old game called Siberia, I like the character so I use that as screen name, not my real name though

That's what I thought! I was afraid that I'd offend you if that's your real name 🙂

Beautiful game, very cinematic.

Sorry to the OP, didn't mean to hijack the thread.

...and I'd very much like to see the aurora borealis. And here (northeast US) ...

Sometimes we get lucky - here in Chicago a few years ago, after a solar flare, we got a pretty good show over the lake.

Wow I have no idea it's possible to see aurora in Chicago 😀 Very nice pic

no supporing pic, but when i was a senior in high school, we had them all the way down here in columbus! pretty good display too! never again since then though (and it's been 15 years).

The Noctilux is actually still for sale as it turns out, but it is a LN 1.2 with boxes and everything😱 😱 😱 😱

Is it a Noctilux 50mm f/1.2 from the first series with hand-polished aspheric elements ? As I remember these go for about 10.000$ or so ...😱😱😱😱

 

[hans voralberg]

Damn why there's no proper fleamarkets where I live

 

[EmilGil]

I can't believe the deals Svein manages to find! A noctilux for $250?!

 

[maddoc]

Yes. He found it at a fleamarket. The price?????? 250$ 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱This was a couple of weeks ago. Methinks Im gonna go to some fleamarkets in the future.

Noctilux 50mm f/1.2 for 250$ !? ...😱

Here are no fleamarkets ...:bang:🙁
