I think the below statement is a fact anyway. In my book-keeping, all gear will -according to tax laws- live for 5 Years. If I want to replace it sooner, I will have to earn the extra hard cash. Again, this may not be a problem for everyone. But it is for me... OTH, I have no domestic problems with new gear, as I run my own business. /Hans I said: >>Imagine you bought a new EOS1, F4 or G1.
