Photo equipment is rarely an investment that pays off outside of what it can yield in pictures. The pleasure of using good tools might make your work easier, but the goal is the picture. If after three years, the camera is worthless for resale, so be it. You just need to think that the if usable life divided by cost is what you are willing to pay is worth it, John has done this, I do this, and I know George does. (Speaking of digital now. I own film cameras that I just like to use, and, as you know, a couple that I wouldn't mind selling.) -- Regards, Sonny http://sonc.com/look/ Natchitoches, Louisiana USA
