... Umm, can I have your lenses??

Well, there's a problem with my lenses.

It seems that the Franken-lenses have come alive and have joined with the Projector lenses in a sort of mini-revolt.

Every time I open their cupboard, I hear a low, growling chant of "FF, ... FF, ... FF ..."

I think that the AD-2's and Helii are into to it, as well.

You know the only way to deal with a mutiny is swift, decisive action? You need to separate the leaders, that is your best lenses, by sending them away. One each to each one of us would work great

Luckily no such problem here - even though most of my lenses are film era, and a few of the DAs should work as well.

That said, my newly arrived Industar would look absolutely wonderfully ridiculous on a ~~6x7~~ FF

Jean does have a lot of lenses it seems!
Is there any way to find out how many individual posters have been on this thread?

I am slipping, need to get back to posting here.
Not buying the K3 BTW, reason... FullFat is looming.

102? No, make that 103! 😋

**Ex Finn.** · 02-13-2015, 06:09 PM

The K-3... RIP.
Not the high-ISO monster and a Godzilla slayer that I was looking for.

I made 1 gallon of white russian and intend to kill it before nights end.

You're ahead of me by 100. But when FullFat comes out, won't we have to devote serious time to posting about it's lack of features, or surfeit of features, or smattering of features, or features that are poor-cousin copies of Canikon, or features that aren't really features, or ....
