I really don’t know what came over me. There I was, sat having an excellent meal at the polo club, with convivial company and not a care in the world. So why did I turn to the lady next to me and enquire: “would you like to see this lens, it looks like a penis”? It could have been worse, I could have said “do you want to see my penis, it looks like a lens”.
It may have been something to do with the very fine glass of white wine I had just consumed; but more likely it was an enthusiasm to share the beauty of a lens I had just been lent; and in my defence it did sport excellent phallic properties.
The lens belongs to William, owner of a couple of the lenses featured in the micro four-thirds collection; and the owner of several more tasty pieces of glass following an extended and expensive session on eBay. But this lens in particular was so pretty. Being phallic, of course it has to be French, and it is a cine lens made by Angenieux of Paris.
One ring handles aperture, another is the zoom, and the third gives you an orgasm provides focus. I was allowed to borrow it overnight so I could photograph it. But when I tried to return it today I was told I could borrow if for a week, so photos will follow. Feeling very aroused excited at the prospect.
P.S. The lady sat next to me was an Australian so was not at all upset by my request; although her Argentinian husband gave me one of those looks that gauchos give you, just before they kick you in the nuts.
