The colors really were this vivid on a crisp autumn morning.

Black Friday

2022-11-24 Thread Larry Colen
There seem to be some good deal on KEH and B&H at the moment (though one fewer 
than yesterday).  
B&H seems to have dropped the price of the k-3ii ($1600) and they have some 
very good deals on used ones.   I was quite tempted but if I'm honest with 
myself the thing that would make the biggest difference in my photography would 
be to use the cameras I have, plus bodies tend to drop in price with time.

Could it be that the wax is just meant as some kind of transport packing?

Not for us, anyway, because they're highly poisonous for cats.
