I've just got back from lunch, where an incident befell me that may amuse.
I was partaking of a chicken and brie sandwich and Montieth's Radler (a very refreshing drop on a hot spring day) and taking a few pictures of the students and faculty having lunch at the union when a young feller comes up and asks 'Is that a Leica?'
Never has the owner of a humble Japanese 'Leica Wannabe' felt so proud.
And the Toyoca 35 doesn't even have the red dot of the Pax and Petri wannabe cameras!
I explained the mistaken ID and fielded questions about rangefinders, suggesting that the lad go for one of the more useable 60s era rangefinders which are, at present, 'going for pennies'.
Another potential convert.
Photos will, if successful, appear soon.
