How dare you? Hocir is evil.

Print this out and paste this in the front of your lens.

I'd probably stop caring about a lot of things.

B-B-But... I didn't do it. Hocir did it to me... Hocir violated me.

My nanny when I was small was from Paris. She used to make tartines with sugar and cinnamon for her son and I as a treat sometimes. Occasionally she would do strawberry jam and butter. I don't recall her ever using Nutella. Probably a good thing or I'd have grown up totally addicted to the stuff.

As it is I have to ration myself and make my little jars last a while. I can't eat it on bread like this actually. It would make me sick. Too much, too rich. I usually have a little bit with fruit, strawberries mostly or bananas. It's not too caloric if you keep it at a tsp or two and it does make for a nice dessert.

I knew them upside down and rightside up. I could hit buttons and change settings without even looking at the camera. Now that I have used the Hocir for one month, I got used to it and cannot find my way around the outside of the K7/K5. I was looking through the viewfinder of the K5 and trying to focus (back button focus) and kept hitting the green button or something else. The display looks awkward when compared to the Hocir screen. Pulling the RAW files into LR, im left wondering where all of my megapixels are. My plan was to use the K3 as a primary camera and keep the K5 and K7 as a backup. But, I like carrying 2 bodies with me.

I think Hocir got me.

I don't know if I can go back.

I think I am done for.

I already want another Hocir so I don't have to use the button layout of the K5.

What has happened to me?

Please assist.

The K3 is making me want to get my K5 converted for astrophotography work after whatever new hociR is coming out with comes out if I buy it. It has made me neglect my K5.

I think I am just gonna run with 2 Hocirs and keep quiet about it. Still thinking it over though.

Ah, yes... I don't know how many times I have engaged AE-L instead of AF on the K-5.

And I'm pretty sure the K-5 didn't use to be this slow. Probably just in a bad mood from being neglected most of the time

Ooh, Racer's alive! Weeheeeee!

Nutella's not French, eh ?!

My jar says "Made in France" ... so there.

Next thing you know, you guys and gals are going to tell me that "no-go" zones do not exist in Paris.
