Seems a lot of people forgot to get their Valium prescription refilled over the holidays. Most pharmacies will be open on Saturday.

The actual question should be "What is GAS, and where may I buy some ?" :angel:

• When will Zeiss make a full frame digital rangefinder?
• When will Cosina make a full frame digital rangefinder?
• When will Epson make a full frame digital rangefinder?
• When will Leica digital rangefinders be cheap?
• Can I get my Contax G1/G2 repaired?
• Can I get my Konica RF repaired?
• Is this Leica a real Nazi camera?
• Is this a real Leica?
• Is this a real Contax?
• Who makes this film?
• Where can I buy fresh Polaroid film?
• Where can I have my Kodachrome slide film processed?
• Is there a way to back up digital images onto slide film? Should I do so?
• I just developed my first roll of B&W and it has (streaks, spots, etc) on it. What's wrong with the film/developer/fixer?
• I hate reels! Is there a better way?
• Why can't someone make a kit to retrofit old film cameras with a digital back?
• Why can't digital cameras be made so that the sensors and stuff can be replaced?
• Do I really have to use a meter?
• How do I focus when it is too dark to see?
• Why use filters when you have Photoshop?
• How can I make my digital photos look more like they were taken with film?
• How can I put X lens on Y camera?
• Who will do it for me for thirteen cents and pay shipping both ways?

Not a question but a rant:

• Back when I was a kid, cameras were tools. Now they're toys. Blah blah blah.
• Photography used to mean something when it took talent to do it. Now any fool can take a sharp well-exposed photo, so photography is hereby all crap.
• Film has soul, and digital has none. I can tell just by looking at a print if it was digital or film.
• The only magic in photography occurs in a chemical darkroom. Anything else is a fraud.
• It isn't photography if it didn't come from film. Digital is nice, but don't you dare call it photography.
• The camera manufacturers are to blame for the death of film. They forced digital cameras down our throats against our wills!
• eBay sucks!
• Paypal sucks!
• Buying on RFF classified sucks!
• So and so is a crook!
• The seller said it was in 'good shape' and it clearly has a faint trace of a whispy dust molecule on one inner lens element. I want a refund and HOW DARE THEY!

Lovely 😀

I have one more:

I have a Voigtlander Ultron for my M6 but my pictures are cr*p. Getting a Summicron will fix this right? People tell me they have much better bokehs with it...

"the only substitute for Tri X is more Tri X" 😉

 

[monochromejrnl]

any question where the OP is asking for an opinion about a piece of gear, film, shooting 'style' etc... BECAUSE they are too lazy or incapable of forming their own opinion on the subject and would rather parrot what others have to say....

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

Black or chrome?

That, and "x lens vs. y lens: which is better" or "which one is sharper?" Some people like to cut with their lenses.

 

[johannielscom]

Do I need an adapter to fit an LTM lens to a Leica Mx
What do I have to look for when buying a Leica Mx
can I paint my Leica Mx myself?
what framelines does a Leica / ZI / Bessa have?

I'll think of more, no bother🙂

 

[sahe69]

"Does Leica M3 take good pictures?" 😛

 

[mwooten]

"Does this make me look fat?"
