Three days away from home … three (painful) days without internet access … and I reached back here in Singapore with my email account flooded with mails, my blog guestbook flooded with few spam entries trying to sell me Viagra … and in that pile of unread emails … there were two pretty ‘deadly’ ones!<\/p>\n

This first one is from a blog reader who asked if I’ll have a ‘sneak preview’ of a Holga panoramic camera (thanks, Erik!) Huh? I thought the pano camera was the old pinhole one but when I clicked the link … it was a totally newly designed camera. Holga shooting pano? Hmm … sounds fun … until I saw that it says ‘120’. Gosh … shooting 120 pano is so far something I’ve not been very tempted to do.<\/p>\n

Check out more info (and buy) the Holga 120 Pano camera here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Seems like I can resist checking out this pano camera for a while (shooting pano on 120 is quite a big time film burning hobby and I’ll continue to shoot pano with the 135W back on my Bronica ETRSi instead) but next came an email … this time from Lomography … and one look I saw trouble!<\/p>\n

The golden version of the Diana F+!!! Yeah the Fisheye 2 looks sleek too but I ain’t gonna even consider getting one. As some of you might know … my trouble is with the Diana F+!!! Dead meat!!! Now I’ve gotta start seriously consider giving up collecting the variations of the Diana F+ if L0mography keeps churning out these different versions. Help!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n

Huh … ermm … the cameras come with gold chains as straps?!! Hahahaha! I’ll go get some rest now and hope I won’t wake up to find more troubles in my email.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
