I hate fiddling I just like the lights to come on and I get right 'er shooting away. So from your comment I may have a few M6's to sell off. We'll see.;-) However, the plan is to make sure I'm creating income with the new one quickly, so she who must be obeyed, the feared one when buying new equipment , ;-) will think things are peachy keen and the new camera will sort of be announced after the fact! ;-) hell you don't think I'd tell her before hand do you? :-) The secret is to know when it's arriving, have her out doing the mall thing when it does, out of the box and into the bag, wrapping off to re-cycle and a week later or so it will just sort of appear unannounced. Like the hour or before I leave on a shoot so that by the time I get back she'll have cooled off. :-) That's the plan, don't tell her, I might not make it to the 53 wedding anniversary! ;-) ted.
