HI ! I agree that the most important in photography is to do images, all others things like cameras, lenses and films stays accessories.
After making cameras don't forget to take pictures and show them. Most photographers act as : writers who don't stop to speak about pencils and papers ! I have just from today a new site http://www.pano360.org/ about what I do, pictures not cameras ( that I have done myself). Take your camera, take pictures and show them. Have a good day.
