Would have been great to have zoomed in on this shulb with the tee shirt
with the sunglasses hanging off the neck and stubble the hugely inelegant
backpack holding the brochure with the English Billingham bag gentleman  on
the front which you can in this shot just make out.
Just sayin...

Camera people as such shulbs! Not that I look all that great myself.

> 
> Fuji was completely absent-no film, no digital, no preview of nifty new

> Kodak was handing out rolls of Tri-X in 35mm and 120.  It's a little like a

> Tried out a few Zeiss/Cosima lenses at the show, in particular the 21/4.5
> (which Tom A. raved about, and I now concur) and the 85/4 (which is a
