Camera and Coffee

[nemjo]

Nemjo,
Looks good to me! What lens is that? And what exactly is palinka? We in the US of A haven't had to opportunity to experience that here. Is it like the Italian's gruppa?

Hello Richard,

it's a CV 35.
But pálinka is very different from grappa. Grappa is fermented and distilled from pressed grape - side product of vine, however very nice.
Pálinka is made from fruit - this one is from wide (robustic) plum.

Regards,

nemjo

nemjo,
Thanks for the info about the lens as well as the drink. Wish I could try both!!!

Jorge this one probably deserves it's own website at this point. (joke)

BTW what is that Joe Pesce clip from?

Nemjo, plums make an excellent brandy; I'm presuming that pálinka is a type of brandy? Clear Creek Distillery of Oregon makes an delightful one that I'm very fond of.

Jorge, yep, it's a camera equiped energizer bunny 😀

too bad, rich, the originator of this thread does not post here anymore.
i see him visiting the forum occasionally but no words from the once popular member.

i'd like to see him return.

Jan,

Thats Ed O'Neil (Al Bundy) from Married with Children. Arguably the best TV sitcom ever created in the history of television. And if anyone disagrees I will ban them from the site. Having said that, what do you think is the best TV show ever created? 🙂

 

[jan normandale]

Maybe the cartoon Pinky and the Brain. The George Burns and Gracie Allen show. And Lassie (just kidding about the dog show, even tho I love dogs) Also I currently like the Trailer Park Boys, but it is running out of steam and the cartoon Family Guy (watch the dog Brian, he smokes, drinks martinis and hung out with the Beats before he was a 'family member')

Still Ted Bundy was a sketch! I used to sell shoes so it made it even funnier for me.

whew! you shouldn't have asked

Hello William,

I think they must be the same, however name "brandy" here is reserved for distilled wine to make difference from "Cognac". But that's a different field...

As I said elsewhere (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=124913#post124913), I just got back from a meeting with Denis ('denishr') in Croatia, and he gave me some freshly ground coffee as a present - so, naturally, it was time for a coffee & camera pic with the firt cup of Turkish-style coffee I brewed with it...
Camera is my Zorki 6 with Jupiter-8 that came along for the meeting...

Jorge,

Why is Al Bundy dressed up as Dr. Who? (2nd Doctor, Patrick Troughton)

Maybe not the best, and dated now, but I always like to see Felix from the "Odd Couple" in his photo studio.

How many other sitcoms have a photographer as a main character?

 

[Richard Black]

To show my age, wasn't Robert Cummings a photog in the sit com he starred in sometime in the 1950's? :bang:

Just gooled Robert Cummings and it was there. The Bob Cummings Show he played a photog and a girl-chasing bachelor.

 

[Trius]

Sh$t, Richard... did you have to go and remind me that =I= remember that show, too?

Trius

 

[Sonnar Brian]

I can't remember the original Bob Cummings show, but I certainly remember "My Living Doll". Something about Julie Newmar just makes a strong impression.

Here are a couple of shots of my new Leica M6 Classic with a CV 35mm C type lens hooked on since I cant afford to get some glass for it just yet. Not good pictures, but they will do for now. 🙂

Hi all,
since I've first gone through this thread I feel temptation to show here one of my SLRs.
I do hope that together with the IIa you'll forgive me.

Cheers,

nemjo

Retina Ysarex! That is a fairly rare lens.

I keep a Retina Reflex-S and Retina IIIS packed in the same bag. They use the same lenses. RF coupled and SLR compatible. How many systems can do that?

Yes, there's no little amount of evidence here that coffee causes GAS. Then of course, new gear arrives so more coffee is brewed for a C&C portrait, the coffee is then consumed which causes more GAS and more new gear on the way.

too bad, rich, the originator of this thread does not post here anymore.

I suspect he invested heavily into the coffee market, UPS & FED Ex and, after starting this thread, has retired to some island. 😎 Quite the Master Plan on his part. My hat is off to Sir Rich ...

This is a very pleasant thought...I wish him well 😀!!!

A while back I was running errands and thinking of how good an espresso would be, but it was late afternoon. Last stop was the PO and voila, a long awaited lens and the perfect excuse for a C&C.

Well here's my effort...and my first attempt at posting an image. Dodgy viewpoint aside ain't it a work of art (the camera that is)!? 😀
