Silly Question

[roguez]

I know many of you will laugh at this but how do you pronounce Conion? Is it like onion with a "C" at the beginning?

 

[Fatdog]

The "Con" in Conion is pronounced the same as in "Con"-gress. More like "kahn" instead of "kun".

 

[blu_fuz]

Con-gress and On-ion

 

[mmcodomino]

Who cares? Clairtone or Helix
Anyway, I think I need one....

 

[fresh produce]

Hahahahaha I had the same question I always thought I said it wrong Conion

 

[ViennaSound]

I will always pronounce it "ice cream Conion" it's retartded into my brain this way (2 words, paint chips...lol!!!).
It's like the moog keyboard "Bob Moog" I pronounce that mooooooog, not moag with a long "O" like it's suppose to be.

On the conion note today I am listing 2 Conion items, which are actually from an old Clairtone, they are parts and if you are looking for something take a quick look in the sellers section here on boomboxery.Cheers

Man your camera/pics have an unmatched clearity, i'm diggin' your pics. I have this old nikon f2 35mm and the flashboot fell apart. I put it back together for what it-was, and now it doesn't trigger the flash properly. It's prolly not connecting to the lead properly, dunno for sure. Do you know much about that stuff? btw your Conion always looks bigger than everyone elses and you look like a pretty big guy too...wtf???

I have very limited experience with the C100, perhaps you could lend it to me for a decade??

That shot was taken with my Nikon D700 with a 17-35 f2.8 backed all the way out at 17mm. So the wide angle lens combined with the low angle makes the box look bigger than me - lol! The shirt I'm wearing is a 4X - that should give you an idea of how great the illusion really is - lol!

I don't know much at all, but I would take it apart again and look at it carefully, clean all the contacts carefully - maybe with alcohol. Then try and put it back together and see if that worked. If anything I'm sure a camera shop can fix it for not a whole bunch of money. Nikon F2's are classics and worth fixing.
