We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember petrolcan <petrolcan(a)SPAMgmail.com> saying something like: >Have you considered second hand? There are loads of camera kits out there with >very little use for less than �300. Is the right answer. The vast, vast majority of dSLR cameras bought as male jewellery hardly see more than 6000 shots in their first ownership, which is nothing for a shutter. Most film cameras in first ownership saw nothing like that figure. |
