Hi Frank
I nearly got into a fight yesterday when I was looking out for some
"useless" things for the coming PUG and took
a photograph of an old Vespa motorcycle in Zurichs most famous "night life
and drug quarter" Langstrasse.
I did not see the cocaine dealer just behind the Vespa about 20 meters away
on the other side of the street but he firmly
believed that I was pointing at him with the ME Super and screamed and came
dangerously near.

He wanted to see the shots immediately and asked what kind of digital SLR
camera I had ;-) He told me he would smash my face if I would not stop
taking pictures of him.

I managed to calm him down without arguing too much because I wanted to
bring my newly acquired Tamkumar 85mm 1.8 lens and my loved ME Super and
myself safely home. He was somehow irritated when I explained him that I
only took a shot of a "useless thing" ;-)

greetings
Markus
