Mark Rabiner<< Isn't is interesting that when you're 15-years-old a birthday 11-months into the future seems like a century away; but at 49, it's "just around the corner"? Of course, waiting for a Hasselblad Super-Wide may make your 50th seem like the next century; which, in this intance, would actually be the case. Along the same lines, right out of college a new M camera seemed astronomically expensive. Whereas after 20 plus years in the workforce it seems ....I was going to say affordable, but I can't seem to do so. An M6... Hexar...heck, especially the Super-Wide; they all seem astronomically expensive! Or is it just me that perceives it such? David.
