The Silver Nemesis

@Roland: of course, to see Apollo 18 would be quite...impossible, as 17 was the last one. Officially.😀

Apollo 18, on the bottom-right!

Hmm, even as a joke, ...a "large sensor" - now how this might work on Arca Swiss?

Leica watch = Mont Blanc wallet...

I wonder...if I copy / paste all the comments here on DPR in a book, and then find a publisher / insert a title: "Comments from within: a Photographic Dystopia"... will it sell? To whom? 🤔

Anti-Canon armada here was a bit on idle, so they gave them some activity...😂

Yes, because anti-Canon narrative seems to be the law here. But that's OK, laws come and laws go...
