Hi,
Frank is right. It means that some quantity or value (like the readout
of the instrument) has nothing to do (or very loose connection) with
reality.
I do not know the roots of this saying, but it have been used here for

First it was the Jews. Then it was the Christians. Now it's the Tambovikans.

I agree about the lens. Nice results and a good FOV on
micro-four-thirds. I've only used it on the E-P1, but I've leaned to
be sneaky with the LCD screen.

they're actually pretty good and inexpensive (at least here in Estonia).

Funny you should bring this up, Boris, as for the past 4-6 weeks I've
been thinking of buying a Bessa R3A + Voigtlander 40mm f/1.4. I'm not
crazy about film, but I'm wanting to shoot something simple for street

although I'd buy it
I second the Canon GIII QL17.
But I think with some careful shopping you can find a good one for $25 to $40.
