If history is an indicator, the investment may even be a better hedge against inflation than the stock market. And to boot, you get to use the investment rather than hiding it in a vault or just hanging it on a wall. --Brian Levy +++++++++++ I agree totally! I'm a professional investor, and have noticed how used quality cameras (Leica, Nikon) have actually appreciated in price. I was surprised at first, but upon reflection, impressed. When quality used and usable equipment appreciates, that says a lot about what it is capable of doing in the right hands. George Zachar ++++++++++++ Oh, by the way, if 'sinking a lot of money' into a camera system bothers you, maybe you should look at an alternate brand which may cost far less. I think that most will agree that acquiring a Leica system is not for the tight fisted. Brian Levy, J.D. ++++++++++++++++++++++ My flip comment about "sinking a lot of money" into a system was NOT meant as a whine or complaint. It was my way of saying that I am willing to invest in the "right" stuff, and pay what is necessary. My point was that as this is a serious amount of money, I want to be serious about my decision-making process, and the images I capture. George Zachar
