Hi, all, Answering Malcolm's so-called OT thread a few moments ago reminded me about a recent occurance.
I recall that (I think it was) two or three months ago, someone mentioned that walking around with a honkin' big brick of a TLR around your neck is bound to get you noticed, and that some will invariably think you a "pro", since not many tlr's are seen in public these days (if they ever were). Well, now that I've had a chance to walk around with my Yashica Mat for a weekend (last weekend actually - my first roll of prints will be ready tomorrow - yippee!), all I can say is, "Wow, do you ever get noticed!" I had so many strangers ask me about/comment on the camera! And some of them were cute young ladies too! (not that I got any phone numbers, but at my age, just gettin' them to talk to ya is an accomplishment) I was quite surprised by all the attention! I heartily recommend it (I bet that 645's or 6x7's work just as well or better) for anyone who's social life is lagging a bit. regards, frank -- "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds.
