Some guy at who sells cameras at a local flea market had an old m39
Leica (can't remember which one, probably one of the III's) with that
bulk back.
He was asking $10,000 Cdn.
Not sure about eyeglass lenses, but the diopter adapter I have for my
SuperProgram usually ends up rattling around in the bottom of my
Lowepro...
Luckily the camera has enough eye relief that I can use it with my
glasses on, most of the time...

12 heh? This makes for an interesting question. Can you remember the first SF
you ever read, when, and what was it. Me: "Space Ship Under the Apple Tree" I
haven't a qlue who the author was. I would guess I was about 7.
By the time I was 12 I had read every SF in the Detroit Public Library plus
Marnie,
Speaking of David Brin, I read the first Uplift novel (SunDiver) on
the way to/from GFM. Just picked up the second and third novels. He
is quite good.

Started about 13 or so. It was a fabulous int
Some of my earliest memeories of reading were (aside from school books
or Dr. Seuss) were Tom Corbett, Space Cadet. Of course, now I feel
really old and it's Marnie's fault.

That first adaptation "Dune" is one of the worst examples of that. The
second adaptation is much better, but misses the mark by a wide margin.
The all time worst, though, might be Stephen King's "The Stand".
My mistake. I also have an F2. I hadn't heard Domke was out of

Based on the (very short) trailer or ad I saw the other day, I expect
