Hi Eric, > Every > once in a while I like to trot out the "lens wars" thread in memory of > long-time list member Les Clark, who loved to have fun with it... In memory of Les, here are a few comments between he and me regarding Planar and Xenotar: ------------------------------------------- In <NABBLIJOIFAICKBIEPJJIEIPLPAB.austin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>, on 04/16/04 at 06:55 PM, "Austin Franklin" <austin@xxxxxxxxxxxx> said: >I find my Xenotar improves significantly when I use a light hair gel on >it, or if unavailable, a slight lick by my dog, Benjamin (Airedale), will >do just fine. Either of those bring it into the same realm as my Planar, >but said treatment does distort the colors a bit more than I like. It just shows that your dog has excellent taste. They say that pets often imitate their masters. - ----------------------------------------------------------- les clark / edgewater, nj / usa ----------------------------------------------------------- and my reply: In <NABBLIJOIFAICKBIEPJJEEJILPAB.austin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>, on 04/16/04 at 09:32 PM, "Austin Franklin" <austin@xxxxxxxxxxxx> said: >I'm not sure quite how to take that. I do NOT lick my own butt! Virtually anatomically impossible, and of course it was meant as a compliment, a comment on the good taste of Xenotar fanciers. - ----------------------------------------------------------- les clark / edgewater, nj / usa ----------------------------------------------------------- Regards, Austin --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
