Hello folks,
Some of you may have seen my classified offering to "gift" an MC Rokkor 50mm f2.0 lens.
My stipulation was that the "giftee" be a member of Mu-43 and hopefully a person who hadn't yet acquired any legacy glass... perhaps due to lack of disposable income, such as a student.
I'm happy to say just such a member took me up on my offer, he's a young man and a student in the Czech Republic.
I'm happy to report, that he sent me a lovely photo of he and his infant son riding the train and it made my day! Thanks MU-43!
Last evening I was contacted by a new member who came here searching on my name. He's doing a project on SE Massachusetts, and came across some advertising photography I did in the early 70's for automobile dealerships in the area.
He found me here, on Mu-43, and sent a nice email, which in turn sent me out to the barn, and into the old file cabinets from my "shooting for dough" days.
I gathered up a batch of old advertising material I'd shot way back when, and I'm going to mail them off to him for his project.
In 48 hours I've made someone happy, and hopefully made a new friend, in the Czech Republic, and been searched out for some of my oldest work. All based on my very recent association with Mu-43.
As someone said in another thread... This board ROCKS!
A big thanks to the administration and the great members here at mu-43!!
Cheers, Alan
