How NOT to use a Leica rangefinder

[3rdtrick]

I have not had that happen with to me with my rangefinder but I do remember shooting my SLR all day long with no film in it...

Reminds me of the Aborigine in the outback mentioning to a photog:

It's from Crocodile Dundee and, for my money, the second funniest joke in the film...

Neville Bell: Oh no, you can't take my photograph.
Sue Charlton: Oh, I'm sorry, you believe it will take your spirit away.
Neville Bell: No, you got lens-cap on it.

In my opinion, the funniest, the one that always puts a smile on my face...

Teenage Mugger: You got a light, buddy?
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: Yeah, sure kid.
[reaches for lighter]
Teenage Mugger: [flicks open switchblade] And your wallet!
Sue Charlton: [guardedly] Mick, give him your wallet.
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: [amused] What for?
Sue Charlton: [cautiously] He's got a knife.
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: [chuckles] That's not a knife.
[he pulls out a large bowie knife]
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: THAT's a knife.

Well, I smile, but I don't laugh at him, since it occured to me several times, with my first rolls of photos taken with the Zeiss Ikon...

Taking the shot, hearing the "click", walking away a few steps, and hearing a second click without pressing the release button. 😕 Then thinking "oh, the lens cap... again" 😛
