The Leica 'Space-Cadet Glow'

[bmattock]

In the Flesh? - with apologies to Pink Floyd

So ya thought ya might like to go for the show.
To feel the warm pull of Teutonic cash transfusion,
that Leica lens glow.

I've got some bad news for you, sunshine,
Hektor's not well, he stayed back at the hotel.

They sent us along as a surrogate brand,
we're gonna find out how German glass really stands.

Are there are any Cosinas in the darkroom tonight?
Get 'em up against the wall.

And there's one in the spotlight, looks like Canon to me,
Get him up against the wall.

And that one looks Fujish, and that one's Nikooon,
Who let all these Zeiss-raff into the room?

There's a Steinheil with fungus,
all covered in spots,
if I had my way...
I'd have all of them A.Schacht.

Best Regards,

Bill Mattocks

I'm hearing Dave Gilmour wailing in the background.

What inspired this?

Just a token of my extreme.

PS - Nuns. No sense of humor.

Nice job really.

Loverboy - "Working for the Weekend" or perhaps H. Lewis et al "I Wanna New Drug."
