Too right,
Where is help when you need it? Leicaholics Anonymous meetings have been   
kept too well hidden for us, they need to come out into the open.

'Why do we want more of these old cameras?'
I guess it's many different reasons for many different folks, genuine   
photographical want, security, envy, pride, sensuousness (that can't be a   
proper word...), exploring the unknown, status, boredom, etc...
It would be interesting to hear what a pschologist defines as the   
infatuation of collecting.
Any psychologists out there?
Do we get a free on-line session? I think I've got a virtual couch here   
with my internet kit...
