the rff seller packs and ships your purchase before you can get a money order in the mail...

a member in another country on another coast loans you a couple of lenses...

you can't decide if you should check the gallery or the classifieds first...
 
When you have thousand's of dollars worth of camera gear that it is getting harder and harder to get film for.
 
You buy a Yashica Electro 35 and a Canonet GIII QL17 and a Fed-2 and a Canon lens and a Rolleiflex and Delta 3200 and another Yashica Electro 35 and another Canonet, and then 50 rolls of HP5+ and...

What a piece of collective work this thread has been; I'm sitting here entirely by myself laughing aloud like an idiot. You guys should write comedy professionally.

I too am laughing at this thread, except I am at work and my colleagues are wondering what's going on.
 
When: Your four year old son-
1. Can focus in one window and compose in another.
2. Wants to name the new dog either Bokeh or Leica.
3. Asks you to move his car seat out of the middle so he can take better photos.

You-
1. Have read this post more than three times.
2. Laugh with nervous delight at all the other posts on this thread.
 
... when despite the fact that you let milk spoil to make room for film in the frig, you check the price of film in EVERY store you go in... and call the ones you don't go in!

... when, even though you don't speak Russian, you think every foreign language you hear sounds like Russian... and announce the fact to whoever you happen to be standing close to.

... when your postman knows at least three neighbors that will sign for your packages if you're not home.

... when your wife nicknames you "PayPal."

... when your wife can shut you up in any argument by threatening to "change shutter speeds BEFORE winding the film!"

... when gas is too high to justify visiting the grandkids this Christmas, but that Orion 15 was "worth the money!"

... when you reason that this thread is "humor" instead of a "cry for help!"

... when you're up at 4:39AM reading this stuff and consider it "quality time!"

... when this thread is the most fun you've had in three days!
