No, Lasse, Aaron is a very bad person and there's no way around that. :)

I agree with this completely, but with one qualification: don't sell
something that will be very hard to replace if you ever want to use it
again later. And ask yourself how likely it is that you'll want to use it
again in 10... 20... 50 years. I've heard so many stories, even on this
list, of cameras, lenses, or other stuff that people had when they were
young that they *really* regret selling. If you're really attached to
that particular 4x5, think hard before you let it go. If you just like
the format in general, then you can always pick one up later if you want.

Until we have to insure it. :) Then it's always scary how quickly it
adds up.

Oh, you have one of those, too? I think there's only a few in
existence. I picked mine up at a garage sale for $5, along with the 645
and 67 masks, the new digital back, and a bunch of 4x5 sheet film for
it. It's a good camera so far, especially since I added some parts from
my Walkman and toaster and got it to auto-focus. :)
