Goodness knows what is happening to my server, but I'm getting a reply
before the original message is seen by myself!

Yes, I have spotted several LXs and met people who have missed their
vocation in life as comedians. I don't have one yet, but it is only a matter
of time.

Now Cotty, relax:-)

Well said, Malcolm. Totally agree - except for my LX ;-)

As a musician I can verify every bit of this.  I remeber crying when my
guitar got injurred.  (the glue gave on the headstock)  I rememebr how I
did the first aid with the most care and how I begged the people who fixed
it to take good care of it.

Tieing this in with the airport crap, flying with guitars is the worst
thing ever...  Especially now.  Will it fit through the X-ray or not, will
it fit into the overhead compatrment, etc.  I already told my story on how
much cooperation I got at the airport when I wanted to see if my guitar
will fit or not...

Sorry to go off topic.

Shipping a camera abroad/Airport & postal scanners fogging film.

2001-12-13 Thread Malcolm Smith

Cotty, Glen and everyone,

I hear what you both say, but the lottery element, will it or won't it
arrive, do I pay duties or not(?) is just not good business.

Glen: I understand your situation rather better as my wife is a talented
viola musician, I can insure my camera and if it was lost I could buy
another. Like for like with instruments not possible - money is not the only
issue.

Before anyone says my camera is irreplaceable, I know of people who have
given up music as a result of losing their instrument. I am very fond of my
MX, but it is the film which has been shot on it which is my reference
point, not the camera itself.

That's me done :-)

Malcolm
