Sometimes. Some online stores aren't allowed to ship some brands to Canada for some BS reason.

That's (for lack of a better word) uncool.

but yea, the cost of photography (for me) beats my biking AND snowboarding all to hell.

I learned there is a reason I stopped trying to skateboard.

I re-painted mine and rebuilt it for ****s and giggles, stood on it and fell right away.

When I was little I used to skate... my aunt gave me like a starwars board which I thought was cool at the time. I bragged to my friends that I did a 180 once.. but years later I realized I just didn't move at all, but turned my head around.

Haha, i used to skate, for the sole purpose that it was cool. I was always the best at manuals, everyone else could do other things, but i could manual really far. Then i realized i liked bike riding more and that i was only skating to be cool, so i started riding again (that's when i really got into it).

You know, come to think of it, i'm pretty good at manual's on bikes too. But i can still give my friends a run for their money, unlike skateboarding.

Phhht! Squares. I used an old Hassy for a while, but much preferred my RB67.

M3 single stroke, from 1960. It's all I can afford for now, and I love it. I use a Voigtlander lens for now, the 35 2.5 color skopar, which is actually pretty good considering the price. Going to get a pre-ASPH 50 Summilux soon, and a 90 Summicron or Elmar, depending on prices. Then hopefully getting the new Voigtlander R4A sometime, and a 21 4.0. My second M body (it's inevitable) will probably be a black M4-P, then eventually a Noctilux.

Camera geek! EOS 1N RS - 1/2 silvered pellicle mirror. 10fps, no blackout during exposure. The ultimate sports camera.

But can you handhold one at half a second and get pictures as sharp as this?

The correct mental condition you're thinking of is dissociative identity disorder (aka multiple personality disorder) not schizophrenia. I am neither. I'm closer to the antisocial personality disorder (ASPD).

I think the best I did was in St. Patricks Cathedral in NY. Set the timer, held my breath, locked my elbows, and fired off at 1/8. But I rarely need anything longer than 1/200.
