I rather  buy a couple of M6's, lots of film and a plane ticket. When I 
got to wherever the hell it was I wanted to photograph I'd not need a/c 
outlets. I could shoot c-41 and not have my images degraded by filters. 
I could make color or B&W and still have enough money left over for a 
nice dinner. I would, however, miss out on all those great infra-red 
[photographs we all lust after. Damn, life always comes at us with a 
two-edge sword in her hands.
