Mark, of course I do. I'm starting to think that my all this story of my huge ammount of photographic equipment could seem as some kind of arrogance. It's not. Let me explain it, and it's not a pleasure for me, that most of them come from my father shop. Some years ago, I was the Purchasing General Manager of Altos Hornos de Vizcaya (big steel plant) and my father who didn't wish to retire (at 80) started going economically badly. As he was too pridefull to receive monetary help I started buying him material and, beeing a aficionado with some Nikon material, I finished with lots of cameras (more than 30) and lenses (almost 70). My father couldn't survive his bankrupt and few years after died. Sincerely I cannot, and I don't wish, sell anything. I even added some ore gear. Already retired every time I shoot I remember my father.Excuse me for boring you with this personal story.
