Not for an extra $1,000, but for somewhere around the normal price, I would. See, I just hate to be the one to put that first and second and third (and so on, untill there's so many you can't count them anymore) scratch on a new camera. I'd love my cameras to look beat up, but not really be so. It would make it so much nicer to work worry-free with those tools, and besides that, I think that those brassed cameras look much classier than new stuff. Bernard
