this is a whine, plain & simple.
i realize my bad day is nothing compared to the real worlds's problems, but sugar is tired of listening to me.

work sucks but yes, i do still have a job, so i can live with it.

the zeiss has to go back to popflash cause the rf is way out at infinity.
i tried it again today but focussing on a point waaaaay off in the distance and it's off.
sure i have a few other cameras i can use but this was a new toy...

the m3 did not show today. i didn't really think it would but a guy can hope.
same with the 50/1.2

ok, that's it!
please don't leave me nasty posts about how spoiled rotten i am.
i am already aware of that and it did not stop me from posting this.

Joe: My day was uneventful until mid-afternoon, when all hell broke loose. Well, a couple of issues got dumped in my lap, one of which is really the result of a sales rep who is a PITA with a capital P-I-T-A. So tonight was not "have a good but cheap red" night, but big friggin pitcher of margarita night, washed down with comedy night on CBC. I'm feeling better now.

Shoot with a P tomorrow. Life is good.
 
Sorry to hear about the Zeiss Joe. Nothing worse then getting something new and finding out something is wrong with it. Look on the bright side, you have other things to look forward to, the M3 and the 50, and the Zeiss will be replaced or repaired.
 
I didn't get the P today, either! I was bummed, but tomorrow is another day!
 
I feel your Pain.

The S3-2000 came in. Took off early (had extra hours from before in the week) to open it up and play with it. The UPS box was big enough for the Camera box and Boxed Case.

Opened it up, no case. It's on the invoice. Shipped 1 of 1. No case. Sunday I'll give them a call, either send the case or take the camera back. I'm not using this one in an old S2 case with a Notch cut out for the Self-Timer.

And everyone will be pleased to hear that I will not be shooting with it Nude.
 
Tough news - after all the anticipation etc. this has to be a sucky letdown. 🙁

Please don't read any of the "Puts" thread tonight! 😉
 
There's not many problems a decent bottle of wine, a fridge full of film, and a free Saturday won't fix. I've diagnosed myself with women-stress and a coming week of car repairs. The prescription? 1 bottle 2004 Lange pinot noir, sleep til there's four digits on the clock, then follow with an afternoon of Canonet shooting with HP5+. Ahh, the stress is lifting already.. Oh nope, that's my glass.. and down the hatch we go 😀

But seriously Joe.. all we really need are the love of friends and family (RFF friends count!). Count yourself a lucky man/woman if you have that. Have a better day tomorrow!
 
to be clear...i WILL be shooting with the zi tomorrow.

i still wanna play with it and i guess we will see if the focus is off down the line or not.

plus i need to check out the rf with other lenses, just in case.

I shall post my rant here, too. Apparently my money order hasn't gotten to KEH yet...I sent it Priority on Monday. So now I'm worried that it isn't going to get there and I'm going to have actually, for the first time, do the whole lost mail thing. Sucks.
