ROTFLMAOL!!!


AFAIK, in Senegal polygamy is permitted, but not very well seen. I've read
about a woman there who was arrested for hitting her husband's head with a
frying pan -- after he tol her he just got a "second" wife.

It depends on how useable is that 2500. With film, I usually top at 1600 --
but I use 1600 a lot!

Wow, that leaflet makes me salivate ;^)

Yeah, and a great performer, they say. IIRC Nathan's got one.

At the CVUG there's the debate between the 35/1.2 and the 50/1.1 -- I would
go for the 35 without any doubt.

Or, if 40mm does the trick (it does for me), the 40/1.4 is almost a twin of
the 35/1.4, and sells for less than $400. It's the _perfect_ standard lens
for me. But the tiny differences (5mm and half a stop) may be crucial for
some people, though.

Cheers,
