I spent, with tax, about a thousand dollars, US on the DS. I nearly threw up;
it was the most money I'd ever spent in one go on a single piece of
photographic equipment, and probably equalled the value of all my gear in all
formats (35mm and 6x6...and the enlarger, and its lenses)
I mean, it was three times a much as I'd spent on my bicycle!
