RE: OT: Suffering for your art
Now, you promised not to say anything about me frightening the bears. And you did tell me it was summertime mike --- But all world know that the Moscow streets full of bears. In this case and because Derek, Steve and me not so strong only you can be our 'bear-guard' :) But next day I'll buy 28-70/2.8 (and 360 FGZ). With such big lens on LX I'll be look more serious for bears too... It's not worse of all things. Film which I told you some days ago was developed. But it's not 31 Lim :( To be exactly - it's Moscow (not Piterburg) film. About 15 frames with us in the center of Moscow... --- p.s. you don't need a passport to visit the UK. Just get to Calais/Sangatte and a nice man will make arrangements for you to cross the Channel hanging on to the bottom of a train. _That's_ the way to travel! --- I know this way. At the end of last year all tv-news was with 'advertizing' of this travel-agency :) But biggest part of problem - how to leave Russia.

Thanks Den. I suspected that that rep was out of his depth (they often are :-) ). Maybe its even sealed as well? You made my day! Pål --- :-) Don't know about sealing. But I have other theme: under back cover (film cover) of the body I saw many (something around 12-15) contact plates. And IMHO it not for battery grip...
