on it's way...

[Rafael]

And you were thinking that you might get lucky and get the package by Friday! Someone won't be sleeping tonight. 😀

 

[back alley]

i know!
i'll go home today and the notice of attempted delivery wil be there.
i'll check the back of the card to see when it can be picked up, hoping that it will be available today but more than likely it will say tomorrow after 1 p.m..
tomorrow, i'll want to leave work early.

i'm taking next week off but that's mostly to paint my place. i may have to sneak off for some black bodied shooting though!!

Good job it's black then - more stealthy! 😛

😀 😀 😀

it's here!! in my hands!!

the delivery card said i could pick it up after 5 today...so of course i was there at 4:30 and it was all ready and waiting for me.

i have to first report what a dope i am. in all the excitiment when handling the new body it seemd smaller and lighter than the chrome one. i figured that could not be but i have spent enough time with the silver zi to know it's feel. i could not figure out why this one felt so different...till i realized the silver one has the m-grip on it. doh!!

i kinda like the feel without a grip but experience tells me i can hold onto the camera much longer with a grip.

anyway, it's gorgeous, looks great with both black and silver lenses on it,
focus seems to be dead on, up close and at infinity.

too bad i have a meeting at 7 tonight...:bang:

.....That tomorrow
There'll be sun!

Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!


Looks like tomorrow came a few hours early.

I bet we will see a new avatar by....

I bet we will see a new avatar by....

...tomorrow?

Now, the principal question is will it be a wholly new avater or a replacement of his current signature image?

 

[Trius]

I'm betting wholly new. Congrats, Joe! Now, on to the film/developer/dilution/agitation races. Should keep you occupied for awhile ... at least until the next election.

 

[Rafael]

Congrats Joe! What a nice surprise for you. I too wait your new avatar.

 

[back alley]

Sounds like a first date .... otherwise you would take it with for some
available light shots 🙂

Congrats, Joe, and good luck !

Roland.

i wish...(not)...😛
a night class in nutrition, time to smarten up some.
i did take the camera though :angel:

i think my avatar will remain the same for awhile but my sig pic wil change.
i'm thinking of just adding the black body to the mix and keep the 'look' of the current pic.

i love the black body
i love having 2 of the same body.
i am a spoiled brat!!!!😱

 

[FrankS]

Congrats, Joe.
Didn't you once have 3 Canon P's?
Shouldn't you get another Zi ?

 

[back alley]

3 is excessive, i have found.

i am totally pleased with my kit at this moment, 2 bodies and 5 lenses that i like, seems perfect.

 

[FrankS]

So, you're done? 🙂

 

[back alley]

So, you're done? 🙂

for now...😎

 

[SolaresLarrave]

I'm glad to hear the camera made it to its destination in one piece... and made you a very happy fellow!

Congratulations! 🙂

Still LIKE THIS WITH ENVY... 🙂 But the good kind! 😉

 

[back alley]

thank you francisco.
feel free to drop by anytime to borrow either one.

different speed film though, fast for winter and slow for summer...

Hmm...given the lack of foliage in winter, I would think you'd do it the other way 'round...

winter is mostly dark here with all the daylight hours falling between work hours.
i drive to work in the dark and drive home in the dark.

Don't you mean walked home? In -40 C weather? Uphill both ways with nary moon nor street light in sight?

Which reminds me, I need faster film. Winter is coming.

 

[back alley]

smart a** 😉!

i'm not THAT old.
but my 56th. b'day IS coming round pretty quick...
