Up until a few days ago I owned the best digital range finder money  
could buy.
They say it's no longer true.

Today I still own the best (non FF) CCD DSLR money can buy.

S2 lust
M9 lust
CFV 39 lust

?The Difficulty lies, in finding out an exact Measure; but eat for  
Necessity, not Pleasure, for Lust knows not where Necessity ends.? ? 
Benjamin Franklin

"Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust like diamonds we are cut  
with our own dust." ?John Webster

"Lust's passion will be served; it demands, it militates, it  
tyrannizes." ?Maquis De Sade

?The expense of spirit in a waste of shame Is lust in action.? ? 
William Shakespeare
