Digital photography has been nothing short of a boom for the practice of photography. Other than going out and buying a gun and shooting oneself in the foot with it I cant think of a better way to screw up my daily digital shooting experience than trying to do it on a camera which came out 17 years ago on a digital back which was quickly discontinued the year it came out 6 years ago. What would be interesting and unexpected and amazing is if this gear was still working and viable. That's a real Man bites Dog story.
