Some cameras >are better kept in glass cages. If I buy it, why should I give a good hoot what a collector would think about it??? It might give me a warm fuzzy feeling just to use it. If I lose value because of that - so be it, it is my loss. What you are saying is that some people think some cameras are better kept in glass cages. I don't happen to think that - but so what? Can you list for us a set of parameters for which cameras should be in glass cages?? (Sorry, I'm sleepy and this just hit me wrong - kind of when I got wound up quite a number of years ago with a national know Lugger who told me I didn't deserve one of the more expensive leica lenses (don't now remember which one it was) because I was just an amateur photographer. We had quite a private conversation - I guess I don't like people tellling me what I can and can't do) Take care, Dick
