Cameras to Avoid

Canonet QL17 GIII... a terrible camera, you really wouldn't want one.

This is a joke, right? I really like my QL17.

Mike, my QL17 is a constant companion to my OM-1(n)MD... Just making sure laz doesn't think he needs another camera.

3. Expensive Polaroid to 4x5 Conversions.

I've seen Aggie's Littman. I thought it was quite a nice camera, not my taste, but well constructed and looks easy to use. So, I don't see an issue here.

Geez. I'd love to discuss the semantics of a throw-away post but Doug Busch is at my door swinging a brass rail strut and cursing, and it looks like hundreds of Chinese and Russian camera workers are massing on the lawn. Sorry to have upset anyone.

Andy K and Nick Z: I surrender!

No joke! He is quite right. Send yours to me immediately.

It is also a little known fact that the Leica M3 was constructed using some rather hazardous to health materials. Anyone not wishing to be affected can send their M3s to me, free of charge, for safe disposal.

Anything too nice to take out and use. A mint Deardorff that sits on a shelf and NEVER makes an image is not a camera, it's modern sculpture.

Silicone won't work for image recording in digigizmos. Silicon will (if it's in the right form).

Did I really type that?

hehehe

Guess you can tell where MY mind is...

Ones that use silicone instead of silver to record the image...

Wouldn't that be Anna-Nicole Smith?

jovo, your generosity of spirit continues to amaze me! You have inspired me to make the same offer for those ugly Deardorffs that are good for nothing but fire wood!

Ugly? Overpriced because of the "aura," maybe, but certainly not ugly. Sometimes when I have mine out I take a few moments to just stare at it, it's so good looking.
Nothing wrong with De Golden Busch, except that they're 24 lbs.

Are we still talking cameras?

Cameras? What happened to Ms. Smith?

Well, I shot 10 sheets yesterday, so I guess we're still talking cameras. Dean
