  • Hi Observer,

    On Ebay I bought a Yashica Electro 35 GS rangefinder camera. I took it out for a spin yesterday in Bonelli Park. My goodness it was a struggle overcoming all that digital ease, but I had a great time. I certainly took less photographs than I would have done with my Canon HS230.

    It's my first step towards snagging a Leica.

    Regards,

    Simon
    Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.

      Simon and Obsy,

      They put cameras in cell phones now. No sepia, either.

      Yours truly,

      • Hi Simon

        I have one those, unfortunately the light meter is busted. I also have an Olympus 35sp, and a Konica auto s3. Try getting your hands on the Konica, competes favourably with a Leica, with a fraction of the cost.

        Regards

        • Hi Tom,

          OMG! No kidding? Phones have cameras?

          The trouble is, all the photographs I take on my phone look like sh*t, so I guess I may be more Cartier-Bresson than Instagram.

          Regards,

          Simon

            Hi Tom

            I have one in my phone, every time I answer the fone I accidently take a photo of my right ear.

            regards

            • Hi Observer,

              Could you send me some fab facts [via PM] about the Konica Auto S3? It sounds great, cuz I doubt I could ever smuggle Leica money past my ever-watchful wife.

              Regards,

              Simon

                According to Simon and Phil, it's actually your left ear. It just looks like your right ear to the rest of us.

                      You are this year's winner of the Dale Larner Van Gogh Award.

                      May it proudly grace your mantlepiece for evermore.

                        Wickerman will be disappointed to hear that I've edged him out.

                        Yours truly,

                        • Hi, Tom,

                          Flaunt your award proudly.

                          Wickerman is disappointed at anything which doesn't jive with his rather odd view of reality.

                          Regards,

                          Simon

                            You really are proving to be a twin-hulled, three-masted, ocean-going wanker.

                            I have absolutely no medical experience.

                            Which is why I took the time and trouble to consult three doctors at LA's Cedars-Sinai Emergency Room.

                            What did you do this month?

                            Regards,

                            Simon

                            • Hi Wickerman,

                              Great. A giant leap forward.

                              Now try to keep it out of your arse.

                              Regards,

                              Simon

                                Does one need credentials to recognise limbs, kneecaps, skin?
                                Is it a waste of time to discuss these things with you because you are unable to explain the inexplicable?
                                I think I am in a position to claim anything I want. It's up to others to either agree or disagree.
                                You disagree. Fine.
                                I think I can live with that.
                                You already made it clear your mind was closed on the subject. All you were looking for was acceptance, and all you have to offer was suspicion.
                                Why you would make the suggestion in the first place can only be matched by asking why anyone would waste time on such a creation.
                                I'm not sure there is a sensible answer to either question.

                                If you can't be bothered to get a professional opinion then the subject is not important enough to you.
