What I mean is (and I hope I don't dig myself any deeper), I resent people on the LUG telling me that I am defective because I happen to like my camera equipment looking new (I think brassy cameras look like crap). New looks nice, old don't, IMHO. I have nothing against collectors, and nothing against hardworking professionals. If people like the look of Jim Marshal's M4, thats just fine with me. But if you are truly a hard working professional, you shouldn't be worrying about how much brass is showing. Medals are for parades, not the battleground. Dan C. At 01:59 PM 01-03-01 -0000, A. H.
