I played around with one 30 years ago. If one were a collector and a Leica completist it's worth having, but it wouldn't be my first choice for a camera to use. Have you looked at the various Rollei 35's?

Very nice underappreciated cameras.

It's good to see Weird Al is still doing his thing, but I'm curious to see the original.

@EdipisReks1 Mamiya 6 is a super cool camera. You might consider a split circle focusing screen

@swt61 those are definitely router bit cut

Not sure about that; those pins are pretty narrow. It's possible they used a thin kerf table saw blade, but the narrowness and inconsistency looks like a hand saw to me.

There is a podcast called The Julia La Roche Show. It's basically a series of interviews dealing with macroeconomic and market issues. The host is not particularly good as an interviewer, but that turns out to be more feature than bug as she tends to have smart people on her show and she just lets them talk. Anyway, this is not a recommendation for the podcast in general as there are better ones on the same topic. However, one recent interview is worth a listen. It's with Scott Galloway (a B-school professor at NYU). I don't think he is right about everything, or really anything in particular, so this isn't an endorsement of his views, but I think what he has to say is interesting and worth listening to. The first few minutes are pretty banal middle class investment stuff, but it gets more interesting.

I started responding and thought better of it. I don't find commercial audio gear very interesting, but I don't need to rain on anyone else's parade.

That oven design doesn't look very useful for making syrup.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. It's been a nice day which has culminated with some late night Ella Fitzgerald. What could be better?
