This is an off topic post so feel free to delete now. I am fortunate that I have known/know some real characters in life, one of which I met today whilst doing the Christmas shopping. I hadn't seen him for a while, and chat made its way around to what was acquired for Xmas, and I mentioned my new LX.
Well, he got on his soapbox (in a most amusing manner) ridiculing my need for another camera, stating that perhaps I was taking photography to extremes. I shook his hand, wished his family a happy Christmas, winked at his wife (NO, not an LX or MX wink) and shook my head at her. My friend collects vintage commercial vehicles!! No more off topic posts for a while, but I hope you enjoyed the double standards of the above. Plus remember, you may have your other half not keen on photography, but at least you can say it could be way......... worse. Malcolm - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
