Ray's Thought for the Day - Day 80, DY 2

Once the rain stops I shall do an update on that all important statistic, the free water total.

Meantime, Crumby and me are taking turns reading the instruction booklet that came with our SEARS KSX-P program camera. Surprisingly, the camera works. Or at least it all works up to the point of getting the film developed and then espying how it worked.

That's right, we put batteries in it and scrounged some film and put that in it and took some pictures of a door knob. All the LEDs came on, all the knobs turned, everything seems to work, perfectly.

Plus, we have two K mount lenses for it. So we are all set in the retro sense. Maybe we shall shoot that roll up, take that roll to get developed, and see what we got. Maybe.

Good Goddess! Film is really annoying. Puttng it in, taking it out, getting it developed, buying it, paying for getting it developed. Good Goddess!

Later.

OK Crumby, I am back.

OK Ray. Look! What we need to do is take a picture of our film camera. I have it posed and the C5060 is all set to take its picture. So what you need to do is borrow one of Rayetta's lenses for scale. Go get the littlest one.

All righty.

Later.

Here it is Crumby, the diminutive 35mm Zuiko macro.

OK Put it by the KSX-P and I shall take their picture. Click.

Look at that Ray!

Astonishing Crumby!

Yepper. The diminutive 35mm macro is twice the size of that tiny Sears lens. You know Ray, we need to get a K to 4/3 adapter for that little booger.

I agree, Crumby. But Rayetta shall not put it on her camera, especially if it has to have an adapter. And she sure as heck won't let me put it on.

Dern it!

Dang it!

You know Ray, we need an old, used dslr camera, like an E 300 that we could mess around with. We could keep it a secret from Rayetta. That way we could change lenses on our cameras to our hearts' content.

That's correct Crumby. We could put on adapters, daisy thingys, reversing rings, everything imaginable, to our hearts' content.

Let's get one.

All righty then.

The above exchange was spurred, tangenitally, by the mutual interest of Ray and Crumby in the newly announced E 420, a diminutive dslr with a relatively tiny pancake lens option.

All righty then, Crumby. Now I have to do the all important rainfall update.

All righty then, Ray. I am eagerly awaiting the new total.

Ray's Official New All Important Rainfall Update

Ta-tum. The new total is 2.11" + 1.60" = 3.71".
