Ok, I'll bite,

"i was at _the beach_ yesterday and saw _some women on the blanket one over
from me_, i was shocked, but it was _so delightful_. i was very glad that i
had my 50mm lens with me, because that's the best lens for shooting
_unobtrusively like that_. the resulting photo was _censored_!"

Subject: [Leica] another two weeks in leica m3 hell!


just got off the phone with ye not-local camera fix it shoppe and they
dumped the bad news on me that it will be at least 2 more weeks before
they can fix the vertical alignment on my M6 -- which means i'm stuck with
this M3 for that much longer.....

it's sitting on the chair next to me right now -- it LOOKS nice -- but i
miss my light meter, and my framelines and my rewind crank and my flash
sync. i'm finding myself not so inspired by the camera as i used to be.
i've had the same roll of film in there for a week.

i really need something to kick start life at 50mm.... i guess that's the
big thing -- i never used the 50mm lens before. i'm finding the focal
length restritive and unappealing....

ah. what to do....

so complete this sentence for me:

"i was at _____________ yesterday and saw ______________, i was shocked,
but it was _______________. i was very glad that i had my 50mm lens with
me, because that's the best lens for shooting ______________. the
resulting photo was _______________!"
