[...] When I had nearly $20K worth of retail spending power from my insurance claim to spend on new equipment, I'd have been happy to put it into Pentax-san's pockets, but he didn't have anything I wanted, so I bought Contax. Even when I was buying mostly used Pentax stuff I did buy a fair amount of new equipment. Somebody who has 4 or 5 cameras and a dozen or so lenses all bought used is still quite likely to spend more on new equipment, I'd have thought, than somebody who buys a low-end body and lens kit and sticks with that forever. --- Bob "Our heads are round so that our thoughts can fly in any direction" Francis Picabia
