Well I guess this forum isn't a bad place to buy stuff Alpha sold me a Calumet body for $75. It isn't in great shape but certainly functional.

 

[Battou]

lol yeah, I'm just waiting for some one to put up an FD 400mm 2.8L, I know it exists, I've seen three of them on other sites but....I missed out...

If I keep at it I'll have a complete 4x5 setup for under $250 but the guy that has the film holders on apug isn't getting back to me.

I thought we had to get to 5001 posts for the thread to be at 100 pages.. What is the deal?!
I have new subjects to shoot! My sister just had a brand new baby a week ago, and my husbands best friends wife just had their baby last night. SOOO I am going to attempt to do new born photography, if they let me.. lol Time to kick up the heater to like 80 to make the kids warm..

 

[monkeykoder]

That might be fun.

 

[Big Bully]

I would hope so. They are both really beautiful babies. This is my sisters 4th kid and my friends 1st. So it will be interesting. lol

It means we have to get you over your addiction to clothes. You don't need them they're pretty much worthless anyways. Cameras and lenses on the other hand are absolutely essential to the survival of a photographer therefore more necessary than clothes.

Oh no… blasphemy.

 

[monkeykoder]

Seriously how is that blasphemy? I mean clothes do nothing other than keep you warm when needed. It isn't like clothes define you as a person while a camera may not do that easier at least you can do something fun with it. The only fun thing you can do with clothes is take them off.

I just parted with my briefs for a couple Minoltas.....

I bet you’re not the first... Plus I'm sure they’re more comfortable being free.

 

[monkeykoder]

Oy.

Oh I have fun with clothes... I'm sure you've enjoyed the look of attire more than once in your life.

Sorry for the delay I'm watching House.

Oy.

Oye what.... You guys let your boys out to play... Hang and be free.:mrgreen:

I really don't tend to notice what people wear unless they're very flamboyant and then it is just distracting and mildly annoying. I'm very minimalistic when it comes to clothes jeans and a t-shirt is about as dressed up as I get. I prefer women in the minimalistic clothing (and prefer no cleavage showing too) it is not only less distracting but gives me a better impression of them as a person. I don't tend to like people that try too hard to look good.
