what do you do with a lens?

Is it really going that way in the UK
We don't have those because we have something like common sense in our law system

...until someone decides to test a loophole or a flawed piece of legislation, and a precedent will be set. The level of greed and stupidity inherent in the human race never ceases to amaze.

You could build an Image Fulgurator and ruin other peoples photographs from afar

Or try focusing the sunlight through the lens to start fires?

This reminds me that there was a little toy and gift near my home. A customer asked the owner if her four year old son could use the staff toilet. The owner obliged and a month or so later she was being sued by the mother because her son had taken an allergic reaction to the soap, nothing unusual just Cussons in a pump dispenser. The mother of course helped her son wash his hands. The shop is no loger there.

but where will it end if we go on?
Stickers on knifes saying don't throw at people???
Commen sence is normall I believe and if people are going to sue a knife company because it didn't say that throwing knifes at kids is a bad idea i think they should be locked up somewhere far away from other people.

Things like that coffee is hot, that egg box contains egg and that mixed nuts and raisins has nuts in it and is packed in a factory that handles nuts seems like commen sence to me or am I just stuppid.

We really don't have those warnings we do have some alergic warnings on some products but not going so far as I read here. I also don't believe that other countries on the main land have such warnings or can someone prove me other wise?

I believe it started in the UK when they relaxed the rules and allowed Solicitors to advertise for business. Most of the TV stuff goes along the lines of “If you have had an accident lately we’ll get you some money and you don’t pay if we don’t win” In that case commonsense goes out of the window and the letter of the law applies. And we all know the law is an ass.

I agree with you Barrie.

I'm waiting for the signs to appear at the US customs stating that aliens are not permitted without visas,

that or a sign saying 'welcome to america, may contain nuts'!

As for lenses, I use them to weigh down my bags when I hang them under the tripod.

I use my loose change, have you noticed how you end up with pockets full of loose change, then it disappears over night.
Something to do with being married I'm told.

I thought that was teenage offspring!!!

I just noticed that bit, Did you see the one being advertised on Ebay under digital SLRs I belive it was an old "M"
I will own up to having a fully working E once even the light? meter.
My son is now over 40 so it is the grand children now that queue up for money

Missed the 'DSLR' Zenit, shame!

On the plus side, it couldn't be worse than some canikony offerings.

On the minus side, they probably wouldn't use the Helios lenses. They can and do produce sharp results on digital.

"Common sense" is a misnomer in my experience although I agree that this labelling is daft. I had kippers the other week. The packet said: "Allergy warning: contains fish". I bl@@dy well hope so!
