Three months after I had started using it, it looked so sad, I was embarrassed to show it to my father. I was saddened that I had given in to a social 'status' imperitive, at the expense of showing some respect for my fathers generosity. Since then, I've lamented every scratch, every mark and every flaw on all of my cameras. I'm not writing this to chastise you your point of view; I just thought that I might speak-up for those of us who feel that there's no point in not taking extreme care with (what some perceive as) precious tools.
