Benny, as I have said before, Les was one of the worlds true gentlemen.Bennybee wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 10:57 amThat is sad. I didn't know. I must have missed that news back then (I was away from here for a while when my photography was on a pause).
I once sold a Nikon EM to Les and I had to send it to his new address in Florida. We emailed back and forth for a short while and he told me that he used to live here in Belgium for a few years. He was friends here then with the Antwerp artist Jan Cox and Les even sent me a small proof etching that he once got from that artist.

Ron was always encouraging me in my pursuit of camera repair knowledge, even sending me a box of cameras every so often as he was cleaning out his collection. Most of what he gave me worked just fine, and I enjoyed learning about their different characteristics. He loved to tell me the tales of his truck driving days on the occasional times he would call. He is sorely missed as is Les and the others who no longer populate this Forum.
Keep it 'tween the lines, Ron!

Oh, I'm still kicking around. Long term effects from my cancer treatments and other things just wearing out have kept me off the streets for a while. Got quite a few rolls of film that needs developed and scanned. I'm starting to feel much better now after getting an inhaler for my breathing issues, plus have come up with a decent pain management plan. Have to catch up on stuff I had to put off but will try to find time to get in some photography now and then.titrisol wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2023 10:22 amPF!
