Re: Various and sundry
Now that would be a sight I'd like to see on Grandfather Mountain, a bloke and 2 canucks ! Seeing as this is a decent off topic thread and hopefully only those sad sacks like me and you dip in to have a look, I'll tell you about the security guard in our Gloucester office, colloquially known as Some Bloke. Why? Because the journalists will tell you that when they trudge back from the town centre after downing some coffee and sandwiches, they pile back in and Some Bloke pokes his head through from reception and says (deep west country accent: oooh-aaarh oooh-aaarh etc) 'You 'aaad a telephone call while you wuz out'. To which the question is posed: 'Oh really, who was it?' And the inevitable answer: 'Dunno, some bloke'. Door shuts.

I also enjoy my Pentax stuff. Quite old, but very very nice. Unfortunately it's the last of its kind. Does seem to be, Doug. I'm not to be considered a guru ever, but I have owned and used a lot of manual cameras in the past, some of which have been held in very high regard, such as Leica (a IIIc I think it was,) a lovely, whisper quiet Contax (also III something - maybe a c) even a Leica C1 (yeah, I know, it's not a Leica), lots of Pentaxii manual bodies and a few kilos of those lovely old SMC lenses, several Olympus OMs, early types with all _their_ great classic lenses, Retinas of all manner, from the early Type I folder thru the IIIs and the Instamatics, and the Retina Reflexes, the Retinettes, ZI Contaflex, the list goes on and on... It's just that the old manuals had _such_ honest character, and if you took the time to learn them and use them, there is hardly an equal today... So I firmly believe. cheers, caveman keith whaley dinosaur in the making...
