I don't know, enablement can be very useful! > I have acquired no less than > one body, three primes, one zoom, a camera bag, everything > necessary to process black and white film, a film scanner, at > least one photo magazine subscription, a handful of random > assorted other goodies, and one digicam. I had a couple of MXs and a few lenses for 20 years until I discovered this list 5 or so years ago. I then had a wild time buying various cameras and equipment. I have a very much smaller collection of camera equipment now, but what I have I know will get used very often. Not one of the other purchases I have made do I regret, as it gave me the opportunity to use them and worked out far cheaper buying, using and selling on than any form of rental would have been. Plus of course I know for sure how it worked out in my ownership, it was fun and easy to sell. > I hold Bill Robb ( > and most of the rest of you ) personally responsible. But > not Frank.

As above really. I'm confident in what I buy I will actually use and need now - with the exception of missing extras for the LX, which I really don't need but are fun to collect. I would still like a K2 DMD, but that's about me done. Malcolm PS - Only on line sporadically at present as the need for a 'phone is more pressing and I have a dial up connection. Glad to see others on the list are OK and Jostein made it safely home.
