put hot buys in their place and have a laugh

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

Okay, this is for fun.

www.hotbuyselectronics.com sells the M6. The page it is listed on says it is a "35mm SLR". If you are bored and want to bust them up for it-come on- go to their site and look at the M6 Page and click on the contacts tab to email them. I did, telling them in good humor that I am surprised nobody had hacked their site for this unsightly error. But then Leica users probably buy from a more reputable source anyway. If you sell a $1600 item, you'd think you could get the kind of camera right. Oh, and for accessories they sell $2.50 (24 exp) $3.50 (36 exp) film- they give no indication of what kind of what ISO. hmmm Probably just a default for all cameras.

If you're bored, go take pictures. *Use* your camera. Sites like HotBuys are sketchy at best, so I'm not surprised they have errors. They're kind of like those "bargain" electronics stores that you find up and down Broadway in NYC.
