I *almost* agree about the shift lens thing. Having a shifter for a 35mm
camera is sooo convenient. But those cute li'l Gowland mini-view cameras
are sooo tempting.
No petwood in your area, hmm? Whereabouts do you live? That may 'splain
why. Aside from parts of Texas, New West Texas and Far New West Texas (NM
and AZ to most folks), not much petwood is seen.
Robert, for that pain, I recommend ibuprofen.
Regarding that other problem Robert details, I suggest a condom ... over
one's wallet.

Subject: [OM] Beware seduction by "The (Olympus) LIST"
Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2000 18:56:57 EDT
Recently Tom Scales stated that he had not bought any new Olympus
items for years until he was seduced by "the LIST" last year.... I too was
taken in by the siren songs and
vampish ways of "the (Olympus) LIST."
I even purchased a 2 1/4 X 3 1/4 Crown Graphic so, like Lex, I can shoot
some B/W architectural shots using lens tilts and swings. (It was cheaper
than a Zuiko shift lens, Lex.) I have been searching my local area for
petrified
trees and/or houses constructed from same. (No luck to date.) I have been
hankering for exotic places and surrendipitous photo ops. I'm hooked too,
Tom. (Incidently, I've tried Bayer, Extra-strength Tylenol and Excedrin.
They
don't help a bit. However, I am headache free. I am somewhat protected if I
have a heart attack and I am pain-free eight hours at a stretch.)
Young, new, readers of "the LIST." Hit that Delete button. Turn off those
computers. Buy a disposable Fuji or Kodak camera. Take up badminton or
croquet. Watch political caucuses on TV. Do whatever it takes. But, what-
ever you do... beware the crimson lips and honeyed tongue of "the LIST."
With my own tongue firmly planted in cheek,
Robert
