M10Alpine Posted March 31, 2019 Share #21  Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) It's nice to have matured somewhat as a Leica user - there are Leica tings I actually don't want. This is one of them. My local Leica store had some kind of rare double ASPH 35mm Lux in black for something like 7900 CHF. Seams like this only less rare. But then the new APO in black chrome is sex as xxxx and something I want but can't justify - its ridiculous how expensive that new beauty queen of Summicron APO is - but its still producing the same pictures as a APO 50mm for 5000 €.... Edited March 31, 2019 by M10Alpine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gvaliquette Posted April 2, 2019 Share #27  Posted April 2, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) In July 2005, we were traveling in Namibia and Botswana. We went into Zimbabwe to have a look at Victoria Falls and had lunch at the Victoria Falls Hotel. Very good lunch, fine settings, all in all, a very positive experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. Then came the bill: Z$ 1,000,000! It was a very good lunch, and ... everything is relative. BTW, we have not had another million-dollar lunch since.

scotspine Posted September 25, 2023 Share #28  Posted September 25, 2023 And, btw, there's one 11873 for sale in the Classifieds in the forum ... for maybe a good price? Sorry for advertising my lens here, I hope the admins will be indulgent with me. 😉 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
overexposed Posted September 25, 2023 Share #29 Â Posted September 25, 2023 is it really necessary to bring up threads that had been abandoned for 4 years? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotspine Posted September 25, 2023 Share #30  Posted September 25, 2023 @overexposed No. But it also isn't necessary to open a new thread for a topic that already exists. In fact, I didn't realize it was so old. So, sorry about that, too. 😘 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anbaric Posted September 26, 2023 Share #34 Â Posted September 26, 2023 Shoot with it? It's way too much hassle to enter the 32 digit combination on the safe and deactivate the lasers. Â 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
