If Leica Made Wooden Benches...

[Rob MacKillop]

RB67 Pro SD 140mm "Macro" lens and No.1 Extension. Velvia.

That's quality right there!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Brian. I wish I could afford to shoot medium format all the time...sigh. But at least I can do it some of the time, and that's better than none of the time

Excellent, Rob. And I do believe the graffiti says, "Oskar war hier".

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I thought it looked like "Askew war hier!"

The funny story here (yes, another Rob stupid moment coming up) is that I carried the RB67 and lens to the bus stop, then a walk after the bus up Arthur's Seat, expecting some great landscape shots, only to realise that the lens I brought was the macro. Doh! I sat down on a bench to reflect on how stupid I'd been, when I saw...the red dot. Perfect. Who needs another bloody landscape, when you could have wooden benches?

Like this story, brings the photo into context. Will the Macro lens not take landscapes?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Not with the extension attached. At least I couldn't get it to...

If they did make benches, you can be guaranteed they'd be damned expensive...

 

[Pete Askew]

Ah but the Hermes edition would be a thing of beauty!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Fooled you all It's a Panasonic bench with a red drawing pin
