Never cared for either Rolex or Timex. The former is too expensive &

I've worn for the last 30 years.

Timex makes, or at least used to, a series of watches branded
"Ironman" or somesuch.  They had two large buttons on the front
and would do a very good job of taking lap times, or sector times.
They have been getting progressively harder to find over the years.


And the days when I lusted after the A* 135mm f/1.8 are past as well.

Now it had better be a FA* 135mm f/1.8 and it needs a FF 135 DSLR to
go with it.

If I'm looking for fast glass in that AoV, I might as well get an
85/1.4 on APS as a 135 on 24x36.  I want full frame for my wide angle
lenses. Although when it comes down to it, lets acknowledge the
physics of the situation, and I want a mirrorless 24x36.  Ideally,
it will have an optical zoom rangefinder.  If I'm shooting macro,
where parallax would be an issue, then I can use the electronic display.
