Hi Rich

Don't underestimate the "putting it up to the eye" effect.

I really cannot get on without an OVF.

I'll add my own Oh Dear - the growing urge to spend money!

I need to get some of Eric's Yorkshire thrift going, should be possible as my Dad's family are all from there!
The Most High Priests of Whippet and Pigeon Fancying have threatened me with excommunication after news was leaked that I bought something this week.

It wasnt the RX100 as I agree with Ed about not underestimating the need for an eye viewfinder.

It wasnt the XE1 as I am not convinced the shortage of focal length options wouldnt drive me back to DSLR.

It wasnt the NEX, because....I havent tried one yet.

Leica M Digital Rangefinder in silver with assorted lenses as a stocking stuffer for yourself. Well done Eric!!

On the other hand, you were going on about the condition of a certain pair of slippers.

Not to steal your thunder, but I ordered a special item on 11/28 and had permission from my chief of staff.

V2 comes with a rebate so I reckon that is a winner but I got a NPS offer for a very cheap V1.

I'm holding until after Christmas/ late January.

:rofl:

I wasnt meaning to prompt a guessing game ...just shocking everyone that my wallet had opened. And sorry to disappoint, not photography related.

But it wasnt slippers.....a waterproof bandaid seems to have sorted that.

:rofl:

I have however sold 2 lenses this week and banked the proceeds...so maybe a bit of redemption will come my way when the High Priests have their monthly Pie and Mash fine cuisine night to discuss reprobates.

Sorry Eric, I just got caught up in the moment. :rofl:

I still think a nice pair of slippers would be nice :thumbsup:

Don't tell me!

Send a note to Santa on my behalf. ;-)

On second thoughts, don't. Nothing sadder than slippers (perhaps underpants?) as a present.
