Ladybug pink? LMAO 🙂

 

[Stephanie Brim]

No no no. Bright red. That'll attract more attention.

 

[TPPhotog]

Mmmmm I have a nice scarlet purse (purely to cover a RF of course), but I blame G'man for that LOL 😉

 

[TPPhotog]

Your going to get deported to the UK at the rate your going 🙂
Still it will save you the air fare LMAO 😀

We are so weak it is silly.

 

[TPPhotog]

NO !!! Definitely NOT !!! But you can bring all your RFs to play with 😀

 

[TPPhotog]

Rover ... but this one is different as my wife encouraged me to get it 😕

 

[Stephanie Brim]

yay for understanding significant others.

 

[Doug]

The very modest cost must surely have been a domestic factor too. Congratulations, Tony, hope you'll enjoy... and post pics!

 

[TPPhotog]

Thank you Doug 🙂 I think the price helped and as the auction ended when many people are arriving home from work or getting ready to go out, the competition didn't push the price up to their usual price 😀

I was shooting with a FED 2 this morning. I hadn't used it for a while. The back of mine fits very tightly. I have to push down (towards the camera bottom) with both thumbs to get it off and have to get it lined up perfectly to slide the back back on. But is is small and handy to carry around and of course has lugs for a strap, something later FEDs were missing. Enjoy it.

Looks like a nice purchase you got there - camera looks in great condition. Congrats.

On another note, could we organize a Wife Distraction Service, whereby we all take turns lying to each other's spouses about what we *really* spent money on?

A guy told me today that he's been lusting after a Honda VT1800 for some time now. He finally bought one off e-Bay while his wife was on vacation, flew to Florida to pick it up, and drove it home (about 1,100 miles). Makes my old cameras seem pretty tame.

Have fun..😉

 

[TPPhotog]

Thanks for the encouragement guys 🙂

I like the idea of the "Wife Distraction Service" LOL

I think my wife might object to the motorcycle as she has memories of driving out into the countryside to collect me after I came off a couple of times when she was pregnant. Strange but she always found me being cared for in a nice little pub with a beer in my hand. That's something she still reminds me of even though it was 16 years ago 🙄

 

[popitz]

Resistance is futile...and your wife seems to have been assimilated as well.

Congrats on the Fed. Let's see how it turns out if it gets a makeover.

My wife has put an embargo on eboy and i'm trying hard to be a good boy so it'll be lifted soon. What's unfair about it is that she gets to continue her purchase of Oly Pens to complete her collection. 🙁

OK

So what does GAS mean? I have been patiently waiting to see if a hint turns up but I feel increasingly out of the loop....
