With a bit of imagination this could have been a scene from the wild west,
but using cameras instead of firearms.........

*********************************************

There I was moseying along near the It'll Do corral when I encountered this hombre.
He noticed the 36-shooter I was packing and it appeared he was lookin for a camera fight. First it started with the trash talk.

Hombre " What a cute little girly camera, looks fur inn, what is it"?

Me " It's a Leica M4"

Hombre " Lie caw, sounds like something a rich lawyer would use.
What lens are ya using"?

Me " Summilux 35mm f/1.4".

Hombre " Sue me lucks, sure sounds like a lawyers lens, but are you
fast with it"?

With that he went for his camera, but the Leica Kid was faster.
"snick"!
;-)

^^ I like your western shoot-out story! :) And I admire that guy's dedication to the craft.
 
Parque Central - Havana These Cuban photographers tell tourists they are using a 1920's Kodak camera. In reality they are just a wooden box with an old field camera lens attached. No focus as every scene is shot at the same distance. No shutter as each exposure is about 1 second enabled by removing and replacing the light tight lens cap. Inside the box is a frame to hold the direct reversal photo paper and a little tray of developer and another of fixer. Access is by a light tight sleeve. The print is washed in a little bucket of water. Many of these photographers only know two phrases in English "5 CUC" (approximately $5) and "fix in Photoshop" when the tourist complains about their print.
