Hi Deniz,

Nope I don't where them to impress anyone! I'm a lazy photographer and I
hate wasting time screwing around changing lenses! :)
<<<I prefer to impress with my photos>>>>>

Yeah your right!:) I think I've done that on a couple of occasions during
the past 49 years as a photojournalist. :)

I trust this explains 6 cameras around the body. :):)

Ted - You're response was straight out of Miss Manners, considering the
incredibly snotty question...

Perhaps he'd like to take a look at the Jim Marshall site, where they talk
about the fact that, while he often uses little equipment, Marshall finds a
lens and body that feel right together and never again separates them...

Anyone who has been around any number of shooters - certainly in pre-zoom
days - would know that 4-6 cameras is par for the course...as you say,
21-35-50s on Ms, then perhaps 105, 180, 300 on Nikons (Sorry :-) )...

Keep decorating the Christmas tree!
