I hate you

[DougK]

Willkommen, Herr iDude!

I had 3 cameras when I started coming here, a digital, an SLR, and an APS point-n-shoot... now I have 25. Just keep telling yourself "This camera will be the last... and this time, I mean it!"

It helps, a little.

Bob: It may be too late for any sort of aggressive, intrusive therapy. Resign yourself. Face it: A Russian camera junkie. That's what you are. Go look in the mirror and say it three times. "I am a Russian camera junkie." (Remember the Red Queen? "What I tell you three times is true.")

On a lighter note. Take a look at ebay #7505471738. (FED2 painted black by a "master."

Do you think it's worth $60?

Hi Markus, welcome to this weird but cosy place and did you start a bag collection as well 🙂

 

[Designer]

Welcome to this warm place! Markus. 🙂
It might be too early to say " I hate you" 😀 We will keep on saying "Congratulations" on your future acquisition. 😀

OK- Looking now 🙂

I wonder which Master? HMMMMMMMMMMM...

 

[Fedzilla_Bob]

Har!- Alex is slipping. Looks like the "Ukraine Hand Master" (one has to wonder about such a title) has been Watching Jim Blasick's site.

Maybe the Ukranian cameras should be "Orange" now.

I feel an avatar change coming on ...

 

[Fedzilla_Bob]

Ahhhhhhh...
Much better, that's much more like it...

The Japanese/Russian combo fits the name much better. 😀

Oh geeeeeeze I have started monologing... Sorry
The former will be back someday--->

Welcome iDude ! 🙂

After being here since 2003, I can only tell you one thing, it will only get worse.

So, it's running from here now or accept it will be that way forever 😉

Markus, don't listen to these weak people who like to collect gears. When I came to RFF, I had 2 cameras and 6 lenses. Now I have 2 cameras and 3 lenses only. See, that's an improvement! 😉

OK Contax boy, yeah, you are a good example. 🙄

 

[taffer]

Kris, please...

that's fine but... now... tell him WHICH cameras and lenses do you have

🙄

 

[Kris]

Oh I thought we're purely on the number of camera we own. 😀

By the way, I won't be providing a good home for the Contax. Please send your hate messages through PMs gents.

Welcome,

And I've been to Bochum. I stayed at the Holiday Inn and drank at the Triangle. It was a lot of fun, I don't remember most of it!

Best Regards,

Welcome!

I feel like Peter Cook in "Bedazzled". Well Joe and I are even this week. A new member with an M3 and an existing member wanting a Canon P. Hard to tell who's ahead!

Maybe time for a Poll!

So, what lenses do you plan on getting, or are you just going to go for a second body right away?

How should we interpret this sentence?

From what I hear, Tim's Contax had a nice holiday in Melbourne, then went back home.

Can someone PLEASE buy it! Or else Tim is going to waving that nice Contax kit in front of my face in 3 weeks time... with possible spending cash in my wallet.
Help.

Stu 🙂

 

[Tim]

Yeh, I offered it to Kris on approval or return, as he wasn't 100% certain that a Contax was right for him. He decided he couldn't live with the finder (he's been spoiled by the M3) so it's coming back.
Looks like I may be destined to keep it. I have mixed feelings about this........

 

[former member]

The finder on my Contax IIIa is a bit "squinty". But the shutter oozes precision, the wind is so smooth, and the lenses are 1st rate. I would not part with mine.

 

[iDude]

Whoa!

Whoa!

Well, what can I say? Thanks for the warm welcome, everybody. I'm just overwhelmed. An no, I won't run but stay around a bit, I guess 😉
And don't worry, I hate the folks at the German Leica forum even more since I saw some samples taken with a Noctilux over there. Darn...
