At least you centered it over her head. Anyway, looks sort of like a standard issue Vietnamese hat to me. 😀

You know you're a rangefinder nut when you can't understand where there isn't a yellow patch on the computer screen.

You know you are a Range Finder Nut when you revive two and a half year old topics.

You're also a nut when you buy accesories, but when you get home you realize you already had one and forget.

LOL ... I recently bought a second hood for an Oly RC ... and I rarely use the RC.

You know you are a rangefinder nut when a total stranger walks up to you while squinting at your chest (I'm a guy...) and regaling you with stories about his gear...and you understand and accept the encounter as refreshing.

Before going out of home, even on casual occasions, I spend more time to choose my camera and lens combo than my wife to choose how to dress, and I change my mind in the way much more times than her...

Do I qualify?

I'm very guilty when it comes to cameras appearing in movies. They recently had Close Encounters of the Third Kind on TV. I knew every camera, the specs for most of them and blurted them out when I saw one. Fellow movie watchers responded with-
"He's still single right?"

Oh man, isn't that the perfect movie for someone who has spent too much time reading about cameras? 😉 It must be the only movie on earth to feature a Rapid-Omega! And a Rollei 35! And a guy who fiddles loading with the supposedly easy-to-load Instamatic 126 film! And... And... And... so many more that are justified by the fact that aliens only exist if you can take a photo of them.

You're a real RF nut when you meet with a person you don't know at all and who lives on another continent just because he happens to visit your country and all you know you have in common is a fascination for RF cams.

And after a short while you realize that you have much more in common and you understand that RF fans are a special kind of people who get along really well together.

(That was so much fun to talk, Raid. I often think back to your visit!)

Revived from the dead again!!!!

I told my wife that I would stop buying black cameras when she stops buying black shoes. My Canon G9 arrives in two weeks.

You know you're a rf nut when...

...You become confused when looking around because there aren't any framelines.

 

[ray_g]

...when you are always guesstimating how far things are.

 

[350D_user]

You know if you're an FSU nut when...

... you make an effort to wind the film on, before selecting the shutter speed.

Yeah, laugh away... I did this (or tried to) with my 350D. 🙁

 

[boobbbers]

... when your more excited about recieving a Yashica GSN than a Canon 400D w/18-55 & 70-300 lens set.
