Rare Chinese spotted red-tip Jinri

This was thought to be extinct!



"I'm not sure you've got this rare-ish AA-breed in your collection? It's the dotted, red-tipped Jinri, obtained from I can't remember where in China some years ago."



"In spite of its colour, it doesn't exactly ooze "greenback", nor is it "Heavy Duty", merely "Super Quality". Probably contains loads of mercury, cadmium and what not, but at least they're being honest and not stating otherwise. Also, very easy to balance against each other for the photos. Easy to work with models."



"Thanks for an always interesting blog that filters out the non-essentials of the gadget industry, but sticks to what really matters. And for the blog's immaculate English, which is much appreciated in itself by this reader - Matt."



Thanks, Matt, but we wouldn't be able to keep up the standard of English without the unpaid army who email in pointing out every single typo and misplaced apostrophe within seconds of us hitting the "Publish" button. They are the forgotten heroes we take the credit away from. And the pay.



Suckers.
