stuny Posted January 9, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 9, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) In a window on West 32nd street, too early this morning. I greatly prefer #1, but incldued #2 for reference. We used to refer to our twin nieces Cheryl and Sharon, when they were quite little, as the Boops, though I don't know why.

Advertisement Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Hi stuny, Take a look here Boops. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted January 9, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 9, 2009 Makes me feel less old that they are still selling those;) Great colour and angle in #1! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted January 9, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 9, 2009 Neither of these are your best work, IMHO, Stuart. Sorry. When are you going to get your DMR out again? Don't say we have to wait until you go to Africa! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted January 9, 2009 Jaap - thank you. Andy - No doubt #2 detracts from #1. For just running around town I'll continue to use the PanaLeica C-Lux, just because of portability. For other things of late I have been using the D2 (see the recent photos in the Family section of our site), but nothing with the DMR of late. At this moment the DMR/R8 is in Leica-NJ, being packed to come back to me, in plenty of time to go to Africa. It turns out that the contacts on the battery itself (actually all three of my batteries) had oxidized some, and since the battery gets no wiping action going in and out, the oxides can build up. And don’t forget that the batteries visited Borneo last year, much of it in SCUBA locations, so having better weather sealing would have been useful (see Sean Reid’s M8 comments). Regular cleaning of the battery contacts will become part of my maintenance program. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
