Oh, that's funny, Bob! <g> Me, with 10 or 12 cameras and not an autofocus among 'em... That doesn't count my forensic Polaroid Spectra 2, of course. That's not a camera, it's a tool... But some would go thru withdrawal, if forced to! keith P.S. Apropos of nothing in particular, I keep wondering how it would be to own a Voigtlander Bessa R. There's a body on eBay, and it's really, really tempting. Except for...all those lenses I'd have to buy! It would break me in a couple of months!
