In German we say "Masse statt Klasse"!

 

statt oder und ?

[Rona!d]

Guy, so many "stillvideo cameras" Ask the academy to give you some MPs/M7s for the Porsche-Tour. The alpes look great on slidefilm!

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Dunkin Donuts is legally prohibited from calling their "coffee" coffee in Berlin, I hear...

 

Confirmed. Same applies in Poland (where I am today... )

 

So what do they call it? (German version please; I wouldn't remember the Polish.) Thanks!

last one for tonight . Well you know what they say some things just taste better than Ice Cream. 75 lux , still love this lens and you can see why here

 

I'm glad that someone else feels the way I do about the 75 'lux. It has a quality that I think is lacking in the newer improved 'cron. It's good on the M8 but it is spectacular on my MP with b&w film.

This sort of hot brown "something" we name it in Germany "Muckefuck". No joke:D

During the war people roasted grain to get a similar taste like coffee, but as we know it's impossibel to achieve. So this name above has to be spelled like "Moockefoock",not the english spelling please...

not academy but important :

 

you want to do something good and valuable with your m8, besides talking techs?

 

take a look and contribute here with your cameras.

it is more important and more "leica spirit" and more photographic than talking techs

I'm a bit worried.

It's just past midnight (here in Germany) and I didn't see nothing from our beloved Guy.

Is he sleepy?

Got no Mac-connection?

Would he probably have been stopped by the Swiss police because of this terrible speedy car? Then he could probably suffer in a Swiss prison without good food and (worse) no wine? Perhaps we shall prepare to free him?

So, not getting pictures tonight makes me nervous.

 

Wake up!

 

Best wishes!

Amazing how coffee tastes differ. In some parts of Latin America if you ask for coffee, you'll get some hot water and a pouch of Nescafe! (That's in the non coffee-growing regions, of course. )

 

But what would I ask for if I went into a Dunkin' Donuts outlet in Germany? Would I ask for "Kaffee"? Or would I ask for "eine Tasse heissen Muckefuck"?

Howard,

 

younger people never heard this really old word. They could get angry about you....

 

There is an old brand, named CARO, a coffee substitute made of roasted grain.

 

A wikipedia page explains the word Muckefuck is derived from the french "Mocca faux" false coffee. An influence from the troops of Napoleon in the Rhineland.

 

Take a cup of coffee sit down and study a bit the german:( page of Wikipedia:

 

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muckefuck

Thanks, Bernd!

 

One mark of "French Quarter Style Coffee" as sold in New Orleans is the addition of ground chicory beans. But that's in addition to coffee, not a replacement.

 

I haven't had a chance to check the Wikipedia article, but I will. 'Mocca faux' is as good an origin for 'Muckefuck' as any other, and New Orleans derives a lot of its history from the Cajuns (="Acadiens," or French Canadians), so the French Connection sounds reasonable.

Swans may be elegant, but my vote goes to the berries.

[Guest guy_mancuso]

I tried that beer, best yet.

 

The berries were just sitting out at a restarant

[andybarton]

What are those black and silver monstrosities behind the pilsner glasses?

 

 

The lake view with the geraniums is the one for me.

[Guest guy_mancuso]

There not M8's that is for sure. LOL

 

 

Another quickie before i have to run but the folks in Europe sure like having there photo's taken.

Hallo,

Look here: Leica M

[carstenw]

What are those black and silver monstrosities behind the pilsner glasses?.

 

Looks like a D2X or related camera, and a 20D/30D. Every time I see an SLR lens, I am reminded why I switched. Even the Leica 50mm Summicron-R which I once owned, and which once looked so compact to me, looks like a monster now.
