You have taken the first step to recovery by acknowledging your weakness. Firstly you must face your demons, YOU have CHOSEN to forsake your faithful and long serving M3 for shameful affairs with those hussies, D200 and 300. Its not too late, you may be forced to prostitute your art by living in the amoral digital world, but you can still regain some self respect by picking up a nice late M3 and worshipping with it whenever you can. By the way, I have no idea how that Jim fellow can bring up 35 framelines on an M3 with a CV 35 on it!
