I question the ability of the zipper. It seems like a bit of a struggle cause it's curved and judging by the picture and how the light reflects off it unevenly, the zipper faces some bunching.

if anyone has a pair of the S/S 2008 llamo folks (fbt or hockney) and worn them barefoot for any kind of decent distance perhaps you've noticed they give you blisters. well, the F/W 2008 hockney folks seemed to have used a suede-like insole instead of the leather one and that seemed to have cured the problem. the americana deck shoes do not have the suede insoles though.

yes, i love the folk series.

I've walked extensively in both Folk Lhamo/Folk Bearfoot FBT without socks and they were fine although the Folk non-Bearfoot FBTs are much more comfortable I find.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Express_mail, it's probably Canada Post that will take care of it

Yeh Canada Post who recently offers less of a chance of incurring duties.

Essentially any domestic postal service is always your best bet for international shipping.

2nd does ship with EMS though which offers a better chance of getting through unscathaed relative to couriers.

My Red Moon got wet and dried with "water rings"... not really that worried about it but enough to ask a question as to whether it will go away haha.

Initially reports on the G10 show a lot of promise in ISO400/800 albeit compared to GX200

"And I must admit, that I really liked it. It felt very solid, the dials gave resistance and a clear click and worked superb. The screen was pretty good, and the OVF was larger too (than the G9). I made a few photographs at ISO 400 and ISO 800 and was amazed by the details and the amount (or should I say lack) of noise. Only some noise to be spotted in darker areas, but much better than my GX200."

DP2, G10, GX200, D-Lux 4, LX-3

What's your pick haha...

Although I thought Ricoh would have brought something out to replace GRDII albeit it's only about a year old.

Are the Danner Mountain Light boots in suede available only in Japan?

They're pretty friggin expensive @ ~50,000 yen while the leather versions are like $2XX in the US.

I thought sales in Japan were dwindling as of the last 5 years?

Maybe some random comment I heard on here... as I can't pinpoint the source.

When does anybody in Vancouver ever need to wear a beanie or toque...

The rest...

Hopefully they work, not sure if the site allows hot-linking

They're about the same, very negligible as HK doesn't have any sales tax.

I haven't been to the Uniqlo store in Festival Walk (Kowloon Tong) in awhile but the "Mira" (recently changed name from The Miramar in Tsim Sha Tsui) is undergoing renovations so they have little to nothing.

Can't comment on Kowloon Bay or Causeway Bay Uniqlo's either.

They're available at FIL, Dita Legends Daikanyama/Nagoya..

Retail is 54600 JPY, approximately $507 USD

I just can't get over the brickness of the G9/G10 but the availability and pricing will for sure make it a popular choice among everybody.

Most of my friends who own IXUS series cameras from Canon have been quite happy.

^^^ quite nice.

I saw the new graphite collection wallets from LV, those are pretty nice as well.

not eatting or drinking and than masturbating furiously right before pictures. thats how i do it.

hang from a the monkey bars till you fall off

the dude has a case of Popeye-itis going on

Where are you going hiking (temperature/humidity etc).

gosh I can't imagne how much you paid for those off CT

Yeh 5cm falls under the IT's massive brand umbrella. It's along the lines of IT's other in-house brands like fingercroxx, Choocolate, Underground and izzue.

Evisu accessories are pretty dope actually

visvim is actually pricing themselves out of the us market and rising costs of transportation (and the weak us dollar) aren't helping. you'll note that union are one of the few stores that's actually stuck with them - the rest have either dropped the brand or just stuck with the g-line. obviously if visvim had cared about / understood the us market, the g-line wouldn't be such an abomination which kind of proves my point

I think that the creation of the G.Line played to what Visvim believed fitted the rest of the world's market but low and behold people that like Visvim from around the world, like it for what they have become accustomed too (I agree with you on G.Line being not so great). But as well, having said that, creating a G.Line on par with the rest of the collection in some ways takes away from the "specialness" of the other Japanese/Folk collections.

I can't really comment on how Vis wants to go about things on a global level, but he seems quite content with keeping the distribution quite tight for now in terms of global outlets (i.e. FILs worldwide etc).

No problem, their products are quite nice I like them quite a bit (but don't own any pieces).
