i'm here in (sort of) rural Vermont ... don't get me going on self entitled, self indulgent, self centered flatlanders (nope - that's not a compliment) who come up from "the city" (that would be NYC) and act as though they own everything and us rube, hick locals are there as their servants, and the rules of common courtesy are suspended at the state line.
niosy, ill- mannered and sloppy. they way they let their offspring behave is nothing short of criminal.
OK - that's the rant for today... sorry to "go off..."
if i could have only one, it would be the venerable RB 67 (unless i were very well- to- do, in which case i would run the RZ 67)
i also have a Bronica 645, but i like the RB for it's huge negative size
the only downside is that they weigh a ton, but the don't rely on batteries or any such gadgetry.
the lenses (bodies and backs, too) have become a lot less expensive since they came out
served on a week- long trial about a dozen years ago ... it looked pretty cut-and-dried from the onset, but the prosecutor's case fell apart quickly after the first witness. we ended up a hung jury and i never did find out if they re- tried the fellow ... sort of like OJ - did he do it? sure, but did she prove it? not even close, IMO
the judge said that she'd take us off the list for three years because it was such a long trial, but it was something of a vacation for me - the mill where i worked paid the difference between jury duty pay and out regular hourly rate, and it was in a nice airconditioned courtroom.
this is the sort of factoid which crowds out all the otherwise useful information in your brain ... after a while, you will know the last digit of pi, but you will have forgotten where you put your keys ...
oh, wait, they're right next to my tinfoil hat
