Major lens problem. ;-)

Well OK before any of you folks get panicky here's the problem.
Yesterday my Leica-EOS lens adapter arrived from Stephen Gandy. A fine piece 
it is. However?

Now I almost have too many Leica lenses because as of today plus adapter I 
now have just acquired 12 new Leica lenses of various focal length! :-)

Yep and they all fit the 20D! ;-) So here we are with the originals fitting 
R8 bodies, to be joined by 12 more different focal lengths on the 20D. So if 
you look at this with the wildest of imagination, I now have 24 lenses of so 
many focal lengths I can shoot everything from here to Christmas '05 and 
back without blinking.  Oh my goodness what to do, what to do? ;-)

Ladies and gentlemen it's a hell of a dilemma as that's only part of the 
problem!

As many of you know most of my assignment time I shoot with 3 cameras at a 
time to avoid changing a lens in the heat of battle and due to this one 
small item of an adapter there's a clear and dangerous path before me. I've 
corrected part of the problem, ordered 2 more adapters, that's to avoid 
changing lenses on the 20D. Like one at a time.

Now the big part, a major problem to say the least,  is " two more 20D's! " 
:-)  And only the married lads know how difficult it is to get one new 
camera into the household, let alone 2 more!!!!!! Oh my gosh what have I 
created here?:-)  But don't you just love the thrill of the task and all 
that. :-) The anticipation and thrill of doing it? And better still? ..... 
getting away with it! :-) :-) Yah gotta love it! :-) :-) :-)

Stay tuned for further announcements.... however it maybe the OBit column of 
the local paper! ;-)
