When I get a new body or lens I treat it as though it were gold and almost hate using it because I don't want to mark it up. But like a new car they eventually get a bump and then the pressure is off, not to just clang them around, but some assignments just dictate eventual marks. And yes they are precious tools and if I don't look after them, then I need them most, they breakdown. :) Fortunately mine don't break down! :) ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
