An Era Passes

[Roman Kurywczak]

My wife wants me to post this.....as I am taking it hard!!! All apologies for those of you who have worn glasses for a long time........but she couldn't stop laughing since she walked into the door! Just close up/reading glasses...but.... Superman is dead! I need to remind myself why I bought her the G11 for Christmas!

[Paul Lagasi]

lolol..finally someone is catching up to me...got a pair in every room...

[Mike Fuhr]

Do they affect your ability to drink beer? Then it really doesn't matter!!:D

[Dave Mills]

You hit that magic age my friend...I'm sure your bird tracking abilities haven't been diminished.....

[Geurt Bloem]

....as I am taking it hard........

Aah well Roman, most of us will experience the issue that our arms get to short for reading the fine lettering of the local news paper, sometime in our life. So those that do laugh will be laughed on in future. You can always have the wife hold the local paper for you, in good light, so that you can read the latest news at 1.5m distance (that is for laughing at you):cool:.

Then, get into the habit of having a many pairs of reading glasses placed strategically all over the house, in the cars, at work and very importantly, in your camera bag. You will learn to appreciate this piece of advice sometime in the next 5 years as well.;)

Not laughing and have to go and clean my reading glasses whiles I am typing this to you:eek:

[Julie Kenward]

Well I think you look adorable! Sweaty...but adorable. :D;):D

I think this needs to be your new avatar...gone are the days of endless beer drinking in lieu of being able to read the morning paper.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

There are worse things than seeing sharp again. :)

[Stephen Stephen]

Roman your wife should go into portrait photography. If you only need reading glasses its not too bad. I've given up trying to do manual focus with my progressives. :(

[Morkel Erasmus]

my sympathies Roman - must be frustrating when using the camera :)
I'm not there yet, but everyone in my family is...so the clock is probably ticking...

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Man those are some neat glasses. As I say, build a bridge and get over it. LOL! I had reading glasses for the past two years nearly. Now they call me the professor. Of what? That I don't really know. :D

Merry Xmas. :)

[Roman Kurywczak]

Do they affect your ability to drink beer? Then it really doesn't matter!!:D

No....but I need them now to read the label.....just to make sure it isn't light beer!:D

[Roman Kurywczak]

Jules......don't read the paper.....just more depressing news....like "Middle Aged Man Needs Readers!"....by the way....no on the "new Avatar"....have to go dig out a mid 20's image.......still had hair then too!
Al.....I hope that is still a while away!
Fabs....et Tu too?!!!......and you were in the top 5 of my favorite women!
Stephen......I agree....but what's next???
Thanks Guert!!!.....but she is laughing so hard the paper will shake!
Harshad, Paul, Gus, Morkel, Dave, and Akos.....thanks guy!!! I knew I could count on on the guys for at least some support!!!
That being said.....Thanks Axel!!!.....I'm taking your approach!

[Michael Pancier]

Good one Professor

[Bill Jobes]

Roman, we hardly knew ye ! :D

[Dennis "Curly" Buchner]

Well I hope you don't need them to drink beer, happy holidays

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Roman - I have to agree with Stephen - finally gave up on manual focus - at least now I can see where the birds are!!!!!!
Merry Christmas,
Nicki

[Marina Scarr]

The hard part is when you have to keep glasses for photography (in my case on my head) in order to read settings or the LCD...and then when they (example) actually fall into the water never to be retrieved. It's actually a nuisance that you get used to pretty fast.

Happy Holidays!

[Arthur Morris]

Roman, Now all you need is a glasses strap so that you will lose them only occasionally...
