He has 2 Leicas, Nikon, Hasselblad, Rolleiflex, Kodak Rettina C, and a couple more.
Not that I know anything about them, but he loves them!
I love shooting with a Hasselblad.
Wasn’t there a topic on EF with outrageous prices in Switzerland?
In Crissier VD I’ve seen this Micasa small outdoor metal table “modèle d’exposition” for a mère 349.50.
I couldn’t believe it so I found it online, voilà, at 699:
Micasa Schaffner SÄNTIS
I think if I found it in Landi I’d deliberate if CHF100 weren’t too much.
That’s a Schaffner. That lasts for ever. Easy to clean even if outside all year. I grew up with those, while I didn’t know or feel they were mordern then, they are cult now. Some even started copying the system of the chairs which I remember are quiet comfi.
On the positive side, you can get 20% reduction with the code OUTDOOR, so there is nothing to complain about.
A couple of weeks ago I was in our PT cruiser when I could not change gear, the gear lever just flopped around.
The auto emergency service people said a rubber bush had failed in the linkage and tied it up with a cable binder.
I took it to a so-called Cruiser expert garage for fitting a new bush and they quoted me CHF900 to replace the whole linkage.
I took it home, found the correct bush in my box of odds and ends and installed it.
That’s interesting…the same thing happened to my 1968 Pagoda in the early 2000s. I crawled under the car and put a zip-tie on it. New bushing cost, I think, $1.95, so more expensive than yours.
To be honest I decided to change all the bushes while I was there so it did cost almost CHF 5 so you win ![]()
Not if you add time value of money and investment upside…imagine I’d spent $1.95 on Microsoft stock…I’d be a millionairess!
No, you really did get Switzerlanded. I paid 12.80 E´s for a 36er roll at Müller Drogerie, but the roll cost 18 Euros, when you can get them.
However I decided that the prints at Müllers were garishly colored shit and got my last batch from Camulet in Munich, that only cost 21 E´s.
And seeing that Ilford is still going strong on B&W rolls and Kodak is rumored to be bringing back Ektachrome I can see prices dropping.
You do realise Phil made that OP on EF 14 years ago?
Yet it still feels like yesterday! ![]()
He’s still paying it off… ![]()
Phil_MCR, are you still shocked by the Swiss prices? ![]()
No. I’ve been here too long.
I still have nightmares at the 9.60€ 1664 beer in France.
yeah, but so did slammer ![]()
