Wendy Beard was in Toronto today, being drug around town to various universities and colleges by her lovely daughter Catherine, who had various interviews and the like for school next year.
So, we managed to hook up for lunch and chat for an hour or two. As one might expect, not a Pentax in sight! <vbg> I had to have my Leica, since I just got it out of the repair shop yesterday, Wendy had her little Contax T2 (what a lovely little cam that is - and I understand the lens is sharp as a tack), and her humungous Canon D Something or other (D10? Is there such a beast?) along with a 28-135 zoom. Man, that is one big, bulky package! The *istD is sooooo compact in comparison.
Anyway, after boring poor Catherine to tears for about an hour (I mean hell, bad enough she has to endure lunch with a couple of boring old adults, but then listening to camera geek talk?), we finally took notice of her, and talked about something more up her alley - universities and stuff. She feigned interest (seriously, she seems a lovely, polite young lady, although she'll hate me eternally for saying that <g>).
As always, it was wonderful meeting a fellow PDML'er - haven't met a bad one yet! <vbg>
cheers, frank
