Has this happened to you?

Well.....I have to admit that recently I have been on a Nikon F tear. But this weekend, I took out the Canonet with wind knob on the bottom plate. I really like the bottom wind. So.....I go to eat only to find a BBQ place in Texas with a line of people on Sunday. Imagine that! Across the way from the BBQ joint is an antique mall. I head that way to burn some time. I am about ready to leave the shop and what do I run across......the same Canonet that is in my truck in brand new condition for $25. I know this is not a rare camera, but what are the odds? The BBQ joint and camera choice where both spur of the moment decisions. Insert Twilight Zone theme music here......

Now, what if you'd been carrying a Leica? 😀

yeah, that's when I'd hear the dissonant french horns.

25 bucks......no problem with the Wife. Having a Leica (which I don't) and buying another......I don't have a dog, but she would find the house!
