While he was at my house, I told him about a woodpecker in the back yard and asked him if he wanted to try to capture it on film. I also offered to lend him my MZ-5, since I thought that was quite a bit better than the cameras he was using. He just smiled, walked back to his car, and brought back his camera bag. Inside was a new MZ-S he had just acquired, with the battery grip. He was kind enough to let me play with it a bit.
I found it a bit amusing and ironic that my son the computer geek decided to invest in a (relatively) up-to-date film camera, while his old geezer of a father walks around with the *ist D. I guess maybe there's hope for film after all.
