This, in anticipation of handling their new "babies". When we were young (way back) we liked women. I can't remember anyone under 40 fondling a camera when they could be fondling women. Now, we are no longer in our prime. The aesthetics of lust have given way to the quest for mechanical perfection. There are few solutions. One might buy Leicas and keep the doors at Oscar's old haunt open. The urge to feel wind in our faces could be satisfied with a new Mustang convertible. ( Or Vespa, right B.D.) And, my personal choice, an ample supply of Viagra. :-* Walt Christopher Williams wrote: >2 - M8's at $4500 each is $9000. I already have enough lenses. And rain is >welcomed.
