LBA cure?

No problem to me, though your story amusing and from my point of view pro woman. We can always find a reason in the male psychic to account for offensive jokes so we have no need to feel upset just sorry for the teller.

Rest assured my fellow photographers of the fairer sex, the adolescent male 'humour' that occurs towards the end of this thread, for which I accept my fair share of responsibility (:blush, was entirely good-natured in intent. Indeed, as I wrote there were moments when my tongue was pressed so firmly against the buccal lining of my cheek that I was in imminent danger of lacerating my facial dermis and epidermis.
If you remain unconvinced, let me know and I'll put you in touch with my my boss (female) and work colleagues, all of whom are female.
Trust me: I know what it feels like to be on the receiving of sexist jokes and banter and am certain that I am a better person for it!
Yours in deepest dudgeon,
Jon

I wasn't offended by the jokes.
I just don't want the thread to deteriorate any further. I've seen it happen before and it can get offensive.
The OP was a useful link and we are getting a long way from it.
Btw I cured my LBA by looking at my bank balance. That was a sobering experience, and may yet result in the sale of the 50-135.

But certainly there must be room for some fun on a sunny Friday afternoon The OP was a useful link and we are getting a long way from it.
Besides, I find several of the above posts to be more offensive than my story about the Scottish Genie.
I do find the ExposurePlot very useful, thanks to Dr. Mhuni for the link. (Un)fortunately, I don't possess enough lenses to sort out one I don't need.
Best regards

So ... do any of our female members hide their LBA from their husbands?

Well, I pay for my lenses with my own money, but that doesn't stop my wife from telling me how it would be better spent on a new bit of furniture, or a new carpet, or a holiday. Sometimes she even wants me to pay the mortgage with it! The cheek

If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.
Apparently.
