Just had an email from some guy running a camera website. He wanted to tell me that he had this wonderful vintage camera site and that he had included a link to my camera descriptions. Just asking if I had any comments on his description of the link and if I probably had ideas for other cross promotions. Hold on, mate... Cross promotions???
When I went tot his site I almost hit the roof. Vintage camera collecting as an investment! http://www.vintage-camera-online.com/ That's why I had to give up using my Contarex after prices of spares and accessories had gone sky-high. Here's what I told him: | Please note that I am strictly against the kind of | camera collecting that you're promoting on your | website. Investment... Pah! | | I've spent half my life battling against a bunch of rich old buggers | with too much money on their hands, watching how the prices of | accessories and spares for my Contarex outfit went sky-high. | | I had to pay a fortune for a number of things simply because | "collectors" drive up the prices of the most simple things to | ridiculous levels. Not that they'd ever take a single picture with | them. | | In the end, I had to give up, no longer able to afford things for the | camera I had loved *using*. | | Collectors? [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Now, be a nice guy and withdraw this link again. Thanks. Investment! These buggers are *investing* in Contarex tripod adaptors. So that's why I had to pay 100 dollars for this simple piece of casting with a 3/8" screw in it and why I've never been able to afford the 25 mm Distagon. Makes one wonder if communism is really all wrong. Ralf -- Ralf R.
