Camera and Coffee

Sounds good David if I could get it here. What I really want though is Galliano Ristretto, also unobtainable in my local. I guess I'll have to settle for Kahlúa.

ETA I just found out the local state liquor store is now stocking Galliano Ristretto.

"Galliano Ristretto is an espresso liqueur made with two different types of coffee beans. A perfect balance between the strong, bitter Robusta beans from Kenya and India blended together with the creamy chocolate Arabica coffee beans from Brazil and Colombia."

ETA A little more searching and they have Tia Maria and Copa De Oro in stock.

After donning a mask and going to the local state liquor store I found:
a) they had no Galliano Ristretto.
b) they had no Tia Maria
c) they had no Copa de Oro

Bummer!

The F(N)90(s) is such a great value for money. It‘s one of my favourite AF cameras.

It used to be my main Nikon workhorse, now an F5 does all the dirty job. But as you say, it easily makes to the top-5 best value-for-money camera of any make and date.

thanks! em.. its a no-name camera bag bought couple years ago. says "Feru" on the plate, but didn't find any matching brand when searched it.

bag takes two bodies + third lens, so it's been quite good travel camera bag. but starts to look worn now.
 
The remnants of this morning’s first pot of coffee in one of my favourite mugs (I got it in Mesilla, NM from the potter last year). Coffee is a half-half mix of caf and decaf, made in a virtually-new 1960 GE percolator, for which I paid all of $1 at an estate sale last weekend. The camera is my Hasselblad 500C (a 1957 body), with a 16S back which I really like (it’s the 2x2 format version) and a 150mm f/4 lens (I think it’s 1958-59 vintage). This is probably the cheapest Hasselblad I’ve ever assembled - the body was $90, the lens was $85, and back was $50. The most expensive piece was the early waist-level finder, which was $118 - I’ll never understand why used Hasselblad waist-level finders cost more than I think they should. All KEH purchases - overall not bad for mostly ‘as-is’ items that turned out to be in great condition!

Sorry for the iPhone shot!
 
Whenever sitting at one of my favorite roadside coffee stalls in Ho Chi Minh City, I'd never leave my camera on the table. Why tempt disaster?
 
Seems like another world, another time.... but same cameras. (& Outtolunch....there are still places in the world where you can put your camera on the table)
