[Honu-Hugger]

Very cool...!!!

 

[dadsm3]

Force feeding pythons on alicante grapes is just cruel. I've contacted Pamela Anderson and Paul McCartney....

 

[back alley]

gosh mike, i'd hate it if pamela showed up at my door to give me heck!!

i wonder how i can get my address to her...

 

[VictorM.]

I'll give her your address as soon as she gets out of the shower. 😱

 

[dadsm3]

Well, Pamela was gonna come, but it's difficult to get a good picture of her...her face always seems to be outside the DOF for some reason.....
I got you McCartney instead, he's going to do 'Ebony and Ivory' for you....

 

[back alley]

you guys...!

and i was gettin' all excited too!
(in a good way...😉)

i have a 90 elmar that has a nice ring....thanks!

 

[SteveM_NJ]

That would be quite a "signature series" -- body and vulcanite rings of the lenses in matching colors skins...
It could start a trend and RFFers become instantly recognizable on the "outside" - each time we have an old body to recover, we select our favorite skin of choice and do the lenses too. ( personal prefs.)

nice job on the recovering.

That's cruelty! 😛

Great looking M3 though.

 

[dadsm3]

There was a great cartoon up here of Paul singing Ebony and Ivory on the ice, and a baby seal saying "please kill me now!".....

 

[c.poulton]

I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to camera coverings - I still prefer the classic black vulcanite body, however even I must admit that the 'grape' snakeskin looks cool....... 😀
