Sometimes I have to wonder.

Do people actually eat those things, or are they simply created just to "one up" the other guy?

Wouldn't you?!

Today was Poitiers' annual swap meet ... no real super killer deals, but some nice snags all the same. Savoche is going to be happy, I think ... (teaser).

Maybe some images later to make y'all jealous.

Spent a lil' bit of "mad money" today, so that's "why I won't but a K-3 tm" ... broke now

Uh oh. I'd better start warming up that credit card

Nope. Not at all ...

How about a Rollei "Hediosmat 85/2.8 - Lens made in Singapore" for 4.50€ ... or a "Zeiss Ikon Talon 85/2.8" for the same amount ?!

My cost ... my friend. J

Oooh, that Ikon seems to be capable of some dizzyingly swirly swirliness... Bring It on, mon ami!

Get your butt to Caen a month from now and I'll buy you the beer I owe you

Um, no. But that's just me.

It's so much, if you finished it you'd actually feel horrible, so in the end you paid for something that was supposed to deliver satisfaction, but instead made your feel miserable. That's why I don't get people desperately trying to finish some food because they 'paid for it'. There's no gain, the investment will just turn worse with every bite you take from the point where you felt full.

If you read the text, it says if has over 14,000 calories. enough to keep a normal human being alive for 10 days.

There is a little bit about that stuck in the middle of War and Peace by our mate Leo Tolstoy.

Good thing I already got hold of some hard currency to finance this acquisition...

That currency is in hardcopy.

[savoche]

That currency is in hardcopy.

True. And it's already spent anyway

(If I remember correctly that pile there was worth about $200.)

So did you find me a clean Helios 44-3 yet?

Nope. Sorry. Very few Soviets this year ... just a couple of 44M's and super over-priced Fotosniper kit.

But as the French say, "I have noodles in my butt" ... in that being one is lucky. Picked up for 5€ a very dirty KX sold as junk and I bought because it was attached a very nice LX hard case bottom. Got home and cleaned up the KX, put new batteries and everything works except for the mirror lock up (won't stay up, puzzled). Also found a consignment sale lens (DV = Depôt de Vente) from a seller. He also had a M 50/1.7 for the same price, but I passed since I already have 2 at home ... ha.

Oops, sorry. Gear talk. But I had a pizza with bacon on it two weekends ago ...
