[LRFlex] French off topic Hairy Scary, For Noel Yates


Noel:

Couper les cheveux en quatre!


and for others: Merde a la puissance 13 is "Shit at the power thirteen", an expression to give luck, saying Bonne Chance may bring the Mauvais Oeil, the crossed eyes

Un appareil Photo, un Objectif Leica.....

Cheers.

Xavier,

Off topic, please forgive me...

>>"cutting hairs in four", French expression <<

Comment dire, en français?

Back on topic...sort of...
I bought a (looks like Chinese) Leica R lens to EOS body adaptor, brand new, on ebay for 32 pounds sterling. As yet I do not have a Canon body to make use of it but I tried it at the local dealer on a 350D and it "works a treat" (useful English expression, Xavier). Being conservative in photo. equipment choice (anything after the R3 is dangerous modernism, and even that needs - horror- a battery to work) I may find myself "dragged kicking and screaming" into the first decade of the 21st century. If Cartier-Bresson were starting out in photography today, would he have gone digital? Hmm?

Noel
