I read that "The Moon" is the most photographed and filmed object ever, followed (by far) by the Eifel Tower, Tower bridge and Piccadilly Circus ...

Just a piece of non-info ....

Also, the Albuquerque balloon festival, is the most photographed event. And, more film is burned at Disneyland, than any other one place.

Here, of course, it's a lens cap. 😉

(Hey, Jorge, thanks for the original smileys!) :angel:
 
I've always thought it to be beautiful women, no? 🙄

BTW Steve, have you had any luck finding replacement for PX675 battery?
 
Nope, not yet. But then, I haven't even had a chance to look, yet.

I've got a day off tomorrow, I'll be huntiing around then.
 
Sorry to but in, but with regards to the PX675 (which my Leicaflex uses too) you can buy a battery thats called a "Wein Cell" they don't last as long but deliver a constant 1,35v which is basically what your looking for. I've been using these for a while now and everything functions the way it does with the old ones. You can easily find them on Internet.
There is also a Chinese version of the PX675 .... hmmmm Chinese, need I say more ...
 
Thanks Magnus, I just made a call to a local camera shop, it seems they have an alkaline replacement which they still call a px675. But it's $10, which is more than I paid for the camera! I'm looking more closely at the state of the lens before I commit.

cheers,

I use an MS76 Silver-Oxide cell as a PX675 replacement. If you buy a PX28 Silver Cell you can open it up to reveal 4 MX76 batteries. I use them in the Konica C35 without problem. I have only two genuine PX675 left, saving them for my Argus/Cosina STL1000.

The PX625 and PX13 are the larger cells, and have an alkaline and Zinc-Air replacement. I bought about 50 PX13's ten years ago and only the Kodak batteries dies due to age. The Ever-ready and Duracell batteries are all still working. If you come across a PX14 at a camera show, you can take off the paper to reveal two PX13's. If the camera does not have a REAL off setting for the meter, I take the battery out when not in use. The Canonet's switch off the battery when in manual mode. The Konica S2 and Minolta Hi-Matic's do not. Even with the lens cover on, and the CDS cell on the dark, a slight trickle of power gets through them. This will kill a battery in ~1 Year. I have some 25 year old Mercury Cells that are still going strong in my Nikon F Photomic.

The Moon. Must have been all of those Apollo guys with their NASA Nikon F. Nice 55mm F1.2 lens, out of this world.
 
There are lots of things of which one can think that they are the most photographed objects, but all these items have been taken into consideration and it really is the moon.

As for women, yes lot of photographs too, but taking into account that there are about 3 bilj. of them walking on the face of the earth...
