damn!!!

i just got the cv 50/1.5 and it looks great.

so now i have a cv 28/1.9 and a cv 50/1.5 that really should have their own camera.

i have the zm 25 & 50 for the zi.
and the cv 21 and 40 for the cl's.

yeah, i think i need another camera.

and maybe another camera bag too...

What ever you get make sure it is fully mechanical! you will have ZI as a main camera on which you can also shoot slide, and youl will have a back up mechanical beast for BW!
 
Every time I meet a girl, I have a different camera... Every time I go to a camerashop I'm with a different girl

maybe...😉

i only have 3 cameras...


you've got a M6, R3A, and the F1/FTb/T-90.....

i didn't know there were cameras worth having besides those!
 
That's really strange.... for someone who almost had every possible Canon 35mm to now have _no_ 35's?
 
joe, joe, joe... I ain't gonna say it.

but I will comment about a girl/camera store encounter...

When I lived in London, ON, I met a luscious young lady who was visiting from Nicaragua. She was a nurse with a mission there, and we hit it off pretty well. I wasn't picking up all the cues, but she wanted to buy a little 35mm RF like my Konica C35, so I took her to Linden Photo on Talbot Street, and we looked at stuff she could afford. There was lots of very pleasant eye contact, and finally I took her hand; she told me later she had been waiting days for me to make that move!

So that is how I remember Linden Photo, a very fond memory indeed. Sadly, Linden Photo is gone and also sadly the young lady had to return to Nicaragua and we agreed to not keep in touch because the distance would have made it too difficult and painful. But looking back ....

huh? I'm OK, I really am.

Joe, I think it's time to either go back to a Bessa R2, as you suggest, or return to Canon. Is there such a thing as an M to LTM adapter? You'd need that for Canon, right?

slow down, i do not have those cameras, they belong to sockeyed...i have a zi and 2 cl's.
and young ash is the guy with the many girls...

i just a divorced old fart with 3 cameras😉

and i must be crazy to be thinking about getting a fourth.
i would be better of selling the fast 28 & 50!!

but for now everything is on hold as i am needing to process alot of film and evaluate what i have.
