Damn, I'm sure glad we got this group to stop obsessing on the 
"worn" lens caps and "politics" and lens 'testing' and "uv filters" 
and all that useless crap....this new GRAY CARD thread is where 
it's AT!!!....I'm sitting on the edge of my chair waiting to 
hear the next episode.....ESPECIALLY if it includes my hero, 
BOB SHELL.....the PARAGON of unbiased, professional technical 
information....I'm hoping to someday be able to photograph 
scantily clad unhappy/bored looking young women like the 
ones featured in that ad-rag, Shudder-rug, or whatever it is...!!!

Now all we need is Ed (Leica-hasn't-made-a-real-camera-since-they-added
flash-sync) ROMNEY to give us lessons on M-repair-with-a-
weedeater-and-vise-grips!!!...I'd like that.....I already have 
his WONDERFUL compendium on vintage radio repair with a belt 
sander and MINWAX......

Do you suppose Bob Shell uses a Mac?
