Leica LTM Interesting interpretation of laws of optics?

Leica M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
The seller is probably a politician; cannot otherwise explain the content of the words put together in such a manner as to explain that which he has somehow integrated for the purpose of explicating how inasmuch the results thereof they came about as such they pertain per the reasoning he has written so. :rolleyes: ;)
 
Nicely done, Gabrielma. We have a politician here - Deputy Prime Minister no less - who talks along the lines of your parody. Many people have a soft spot for him, however (apart from the protester he once punched)

Cheers,

So once the light has bent around, it resumes it's original path. So the final image is free of distortion caused by bent light.

Hmm. That isn't physics. That's divine intervention.
 
Well there is "gravitational lensing" but you need a very big gravity field for that. My 90/f4 Leitz is heavier than my other LTM lenses but I didn't think it was that heavy.
I like the chrome finish on this one, though.
One question: is the "R" and dot on the base of the lens an infrared focus point?

The warping of the spacetime fabric would explain the jittering of the camera when taking the picture of the lens :D.

I know on some lenses, that the infrared mark is just a red line, usually no R. But then again, its a Canon lens from the 50's, so I can't make a legitimate comparison. Maybe the seller could...

lol -- Sean and Mango: there have been a few of those types on this side of the pond, but I know there have been some legends on your side (of the pond).

Perhaps you know this guy, and it wasn't for contrived hot air, but for being truly ahead of his time (if you think of Yogi Berra): Sir Boyle Roche. Politicians speaking like him don't get called on it by the "press" now.
 
Ah yes ... Roche: the infamous Member of Parliament for Tralee, Ireland. Author of such classic lines as:

"Mr Speaker, I smell a rat; I see him floating in the air and darkening the sky; but I'll nip him in the bud."


"Mr. Speaker, how could I be in two places at once unless I were a bird?"


"Half the lies our opponents tell about us are untrue."


"Ireland is today overflowing with absentee landlords."


"He is the sort of man who would stab you in the chest when your back was turned."


"These people are destitute of even the goods they possess."


"Why should we be concerned about posterity, what has posterity done for us?"


"All along the untrodden paths of the future I can see the footprints of an unseen hand."


"The cup of Ireland's miseries has been overflowing for centuries, and is not yet full."


Cheers,

Seán.
