Hehe, same here! When the *ist-D came out and I still was thinking about the pros and cons of digital or a used FA 300/2.8 that I could have gotten instead of at the same time, my wife encouraged me to get one in pointing out which piece of equipment would change the way we take pictures most. So I went out and got one. I think my wife hasn't burned a single film in her MZ-5n since the "starkissed" is here... :-) 4500 exp. and still counting... Thomas
