Honest sellers REALLY crack me up sometimes....

The set-up handles great but I am letting it go because my wife said that I have bought more than enough photo equipment this Christmas.

Rest assured that the items are almost new as I bought them last week only.

Just wondering, are you married, ddimaria? This could be very dangerous advice!

Define "married"...

Nothing official, but by all practicle means...

Yes.

But I find that taking many pictures of your signifigant others helps them to accept the camera gear bug. It makes them part of the process.

"It's so I can take better pictures of you dear."

Heres to long suffering and tolerant wives everywhere. May you be so lucky to find one and keep her if you do. I got lucky the second time around and try to listen closely to what she has to say. Dangerous advice to ignor.

I tend to buy gear that looks similar to each other. Then when I hear..."Is that new?" I'm like...."nah, this camera is about 30 years old...."

My wife gave up on me years ago. Then again, I gave up on HER buying more shoes than Imelda Marcos and enough dresses to fill our closets... ALL of our closets!

It keeps both of us happy.

I realized after many years that there was a whole list of things that my wife pretended to be interested in and enjoy just so we could do some things together. With someone like that I decided honesty was in order and now that we're retired and there are enough things that we both like together for the others we just allocate a certain amount of money for each of us to feed our respective habits habits. If I have enough saved from my share to buy an RD1 or she feels that she needs a bigger kiln. then so be it.

I see that the camera did not sell. Probably too high a starting price. Maybe I'm too cynical, but I wonder about this "one week old" camera that's shot only half a roll of film and his wife tells him to dump it. Really? It's pretty sloppy to have to sell a new item that wasn't "cleared" with the authorities beforehand! His loss? Yes, as the price asked included the trigger winder. Wonder what he'll do now...

Forever grateful I am for the relatively long leash I've been granted...

Happy New Year!

Geez, Doug; what a nice way to be "under control"! >

I too am grateful for a patient and forgiving wife!

David, I have the Voigtlander trigger winder on my Bessa-T and like it a lot. Not only for the winder action, but also for the integral side-grip and extra strap lugs. He can't do worse than say "NO!" if you offer him $100 + shipping!
