I thought I read a recent post by you saying you have never spent more than somthing like $2900 for a car, which would put it in the '50s. The Geo is certainly much more than $2900. Anyway enjoy the fim cameras, I still use my R8 90% of the time when I need a SLR. The D200 only meets my needs 10% of the time. Unfortunately for both (and my M6TTL) the M8 is always with me.
