In "why I won't buy" , there is the word "buy".

Is photography about anything else beside buying cameras?
99% of the threads are about buying, selling, and what Sony is doing.
Wow, that's very materialistic, that everything but taking photos.
Why Pentax isn't good, why Sony mirrorless is the best bla bla bla etc etc... that's enough overdose to disgust anyone into taking photo for the pleasure of seeing.

Photography is not about buying cameras.

It is about capturing light, to create an image.

Sure, the generally accepted method to pursue the hobby (or profession) is to buy a camera, lens or lenses, etc. and go out to capture some light.

I must only read 1% of the threads here, because I rarely read about bad Pentax, the S word bla bla bla etc etc....overdose from disgust stuff.

So relax, have some bacon, washed down with beer, and get out and capture some light.

But don't do it with a K3.

The livE hociR lurks and must be defeated.

No and no, it was me wearing the gown, boots, and torturing cats.
But yes to the goat.

I was telling a friend of mine, when he was drinking almond milk, that it must be pretty darn hard to milk the almonds in the morning; the teats must be microscopic!
Never milked a squirrel ( or even thought of it!) but since you are on the kinky cheese side with the robe, goats, and lord knows what else....I think it might can be done? I'll send you one if you would like to try it?

Meat like mutton lungs?
you know, I found mutton (any part thereof) to be the worst tasting meat...period/full stop

then a Caribbean cook served me goat and mutton barbeque
the spicing was so amazing that I couldn't taste the mutton (as bad as goat can be, mutton is worse)

back to mutton lungs
if you can eat mutton, sheep's lungs can't be much worse...chopped up and properly spiced
though it seems to me that chopped and used for fish bait the lungs would give you a bit of recreation and a better tasting meal (the fish or turtle you caught)

Unless you catch a walleye, which is the piscene version of a rice cake. i.e. totally devoid of flavor.

Mutton lungs, one of the traditional ingredients of haggis.

I take it you are not much into haggis.
