Dear fellow Hobbits (sorry Hobbyists)
And good morning to you too, Frodo.
So... even Australians have some culture in their eddication? :>)
Actually we should be careful in case the Tolkien mailing list (or
perhaps Real Runes Fellowship) get at us for cribbing their material.
>The latest edition of Amateur Photographer has a review of the new
Voigtländer Color-Heliar 75/2.5. It will have various fits,
including OM, and its price in the UK is projected to be £300 - or
perhaps it's available already.
ooooo-er! Didn't know they were doing this. What about the other Bessa
lenses - like the 15mm? (Faint slathering, twitching noises off-stage).
This has been a fairly widespread reaction. Everyone seems to have
been slavering over Be*sa lenses and this news has prompted a
dilution of the Zuiko hobbit, I mean habit.
The lens has a fair proportion of chrome (or whatever the metal is)
and although it will be a solid piece of kit, it is small. I expect
that its performance, which was highly praised in AP, will be better
than the 85/2. Any reports elsewhere on this... and does it form
part of the addiction?
Well as it's made by Cosina, it should be perfect with an OM2000! Last time
I dribbled on a Bessa-R the lenses looked VERY small. If people here get
away with using T*mron - this has to be allowed within the ambit of OM
addictive substances.
I tell you, the Cosina label has done itself a lot of good by these
lenses. If only this Toyota or Honda or Datsun could have benefited
from this sort of label quality...
>Unfortunately, I will not be buying it as my funds (or those
allocatable to the "Hobby") will not stretch that far. I am intent
on buying an ISDN modem (I know it doesn't modulate/demodulate, but
>it serves a similar function) to speed up my connection.
Just a weekend Zuikoist, hey?
No comment... suffice it to say, I don't know how you lot have time
to take photos. Yes, I know, they're all around us. But I am
feeling bereft of the Zuiko Muse at present, I must confess.

gaming establishment near Ramstein in Germany).
So that's what NATO is all about - Nintendo for the big kids.
Ramstein's a rock band, isn't it?

I'm sure there's a place for you at the monitor Andrew... on the
night shift of course!
