Dan my brother, I don't think you're that old. Both of you are probably born in the Hippie era, but definitely not old enough to go to Jimi Hendrix, the WHO, Santana, Led Zeppelin concerts back then.

does trying to dress like them count? :bsmilie::bsmilie:

I CHOPE first the fujinon 5cm 1.2! ;p (hands off the rest of you hungry wolves.....):bsmilie:

hey doc, very effective ad campaigns....I'm foaming at the mouth again...

Sir DanKwan, I should have been in advertising......Imagine I could turn a Honorable, Distinguished, Dignified Sir.......into a Hungry Wolf!!! :bsmilie::bsmilie:

Rollei RF Duo: They have them in chrome as well.

The Optical Group of the Rollei Planar 80mm f2.8 can be separated from the Focusing Helicoid. This can then be attached to a Rollei to Nikon Adapter #64213 allowing it to be used on a Nikon camera. (benny & hacker have this adapter)

Note to Sir DanKwan in case I cause you to foam again: This is not your cup of tea....modern optics.
