I Never Worried about putting Film in my Camera till,

my Recent Nightmare....

Elated because I got a 'new' Lens
Ran out gleefully, shot a roll, got absorbed in developing & scanning, then got disappointed in the new lens'
thereby FORGETTING to put film in the Camera
Next Morning go out Shooting with Tom & Tuulikki
thinking my camera is loaded
get up to about #39 and realize ...
Oh Sh*t no Film in the camera ...:bang:......:bang::bang::bang:...

 

[sepiareverb]

My rangefinder being obsolete.
