OT - Covid and the Cologne Carnival

The chairman of Cologne's Carnival Committee is strongly advising against calling off the 2021 Carnival because of Covid. IRL, he is the owner of the town's biggest funeral service. Make of that what you will. Ralf -- Ralf R. Radermacher - Köln/Cologne, Germany Blog :

I agree with others’ comments - he does look a bit wasted. But then, he had just been run into, followed by interrogation by the police, seeing his pride-and-joy only transport get towed away… I would probably look wasted as well. Nice scene captures Larry. The insurance company can use those

Thanks Joe! Yes, I agree. Even if it had stayed around, the deer was not in a good spot. And too far away. And thanks to others who have viewed and or commented. Unfortunately, by the time the chipmunk(s) have filled their cheek pouches with seed, they are ready to get to their stash and

Apart from their  technical quality I think Leica's have compact elegant designs and some people may buy it as fashion gadgets. I don't expect DSLR's can find that niche in current markets accordingly. In my opinion it is important for R/P to hold on to their line of very versatile rugged APS-C

Re: story 3 of the new APS-C flagship

Probably not, as there was a product that did that with a video camera and tilting display that attached to the viewfinder on SLRs and DSLRs what about 10-15 years ago.  It was the Z(something).  I don't think they're still available, or if they are, they're a more niche product than most.

Re: story 3 of the new APS-C flagship

Perhaps Ricoh/Pentax is planning to follow the Leica route of going against the main stream for a small public. That would seem to be the way to go if you're a small player in a market. Trying to compete against the big boys doesn't seem to have done Olympus any good, even though they used
