I laughed out loud at reading this!

So did I!

Great comeback, Joe. I'll get you back another time, I swear!

Cheers,

Guess what's on the cover of this month's (January) "National Geographic" (also a feature story)?

Because it goes so well with rangefinder cameras, of course! 😀

the one-two low-light stops we earn with using a RF instead of a SLR we lose due to too much coffee. 😀

Yep. I tried compensating by using a tripod. Unfortunately I was shaking so bad I spilled coffee on one of the tripod legs and now it shakes too. 😱 😀

Okay, here are my image buddies -- my Bessa and my Panasonic Lumix FZ20 (Digital Rebel replacement) sharing a cup of Tall Bold while I bring my photojournal up to date. (not a bad shot for 1/8s handheld with my little S45 digital)

And yes, they really were knocking down the house across the street. View from our upstairs window (sorry about all the birch tree branches in the way ...)

Konica and Minolta (not KonicaMinolta 😉)

Just scanned the other two 'Camera and Beer' shots.
Konica Auto S2 and Minolta HiMatic 7s (which might look familiar to Joe... 😉)

Two Konica C32, a Revue 400S and a Cosina 35.

Lovely Roman. Not quite coffee, but better! 😀

hey roman, wasn't that camera for your friend?

gene, that lens looks kinda hugemongous! (sp?)

[Roman]

Joe,
yes, that was the original plan; however, while the Minolta was in transit, he got a nearly mint HiMatic 7SII that he's totally in love with, so I figured my intended surprise gift would not be that special (he's not the collector type, he only owns two or three cameras at a time and sells off the ones he does not use - right now he's thinking about swapping his FM3n for a Minolta CLE...). So I thought I'd rather give it a loving home myself, were it would be appreciated accordingly... 😉

Oh, and BTW, here's another shameless plug for my friend's website:
http://www.r-owl.com/photographs/
- mostly shot with Nikon EM and FM3n, but a few with the Oly 35 RC I lent him for a few months...

Yes, the lens barrel is quite large to hold the Leica-branded DC Vario-Elmarit that remains at f/2.8 throughout its zoom range of 36 - 432mm equiv. And it's got image stabilizers built in as well. It looks larger in pics than it actually is in your hand. Fits quite easily into my Lowepro Nova 2 bag alongside my Bessa and a couple of spare lenses.

Now that is a way too cool for words finder. What is that puppy called so I can troll the bay looking for one for myself?

William

 

[wlewisiii]

My little guy's new phrase is "way cool" 🙂 I think that applies here. Gonna have to find one of them, that's far more fun and funky than a turret finder.

Thanks for the info.

Zeiss have made some cool finders. Here's one that I use on the top of my M6 - it is a very small waist-level finder.

 

[stevew]

peter that is really cool. I used to use a waist level finder on Nikon f's with wideangle lens' to get a different view.

 

[peter_n]

Yep I have an F3 and it has a waist level finder, the D2 I think. This little guy is much smaller and really only useful for aiming the camera in the general direction of the subject.
