First World Problems

The lens, batteries, flash etc arrived yesterday

The body arrives Monday

Oh the agony.

Ahhh, the beauty and pureness of shooting without batteries. Now that only is reserved for the third world.

 

[swoop]

It's your fault really. If you just got a Voigtlander 667, it's battery free with a built in lens, you'd be good to go right now.

I have the batteries - it's the body that is yet to come :-(

What's the camera??

I ordered an Olympus E-M1, it's my first MFT so I will need the body
To have fun

So this is another first world issue - shooting without film 🙂
Hope you will like it and put into good use.

Hate to burst your bubble, but the developing world uses digital cameras. Charge with solar panel or generator. Camera phones mostly, of course. In the mobile phones everyone has. Seriously.

Earlier this year went on a hike with my brother and sister 3 hours off the end of the road in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. The first thing everyone did on arriving at the grass and bamboo hut at the end of the hike was to pull out their phones and check their messages.

OTOH - having a postal service home deliver IS a First World problem.
