slang terms and "with it" phrases. THANK YOU for showing these types

Thanks a lot!
Those "old" Ricohs are very nice camera.
My first SLR (in 1990) was a Ricoh KR-10x and it is still going strong! _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

I don't think that will happen in a regular magazine. What if this test finds out that a 20D does the job as good as a 50D? Canon will not post an ad again in that mag. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

Wow, an amazing find that! I'd been hoping to see some classic POP photo reviews - you don't know what a pain it is to keep an eye out for a specific issue from the 70s where you know a certain camera was reviewed. If Pop has it - they have the Spotmatic F for example - it's a real time and money saver! _________________ -Jussi
