I use a D60 for all my shooting now. That is landscape, portrait and
everything else. I haven't shot film for a while, and that was finishing
off a roll of Delta 400 in a Leica CL which has gone off for a small
repair before it gets sold. The CL was used for street grabs (now
undertaken by a Powershot G2) but will be up for sale shortly to help
finance a trip to GFM. I have a pair of MXs (yes, there is a reason why I
subscribe to this list ;-) and some lenses. Alas, one MX and most lenses
will also be up for sale. I simply do not shoot film any more. 

The remaining MX/winder and a 28mm I bought back in 1980 and they sit on
a shelf above my desk where I can see them and think back with fond
memories to my early photographic days when MXs and LXs and big fast
Pentax glass ruled. Like I said, fond memories.

However, times change, things move on and today I have printed a load of
16X12 inkjets onto some pretty decent heavyweight matte paper and boy was
that a lot of fun :-)

Oh yeah, the final camera is a Sony Betacam SX with (I'm sorry to have to
report) a Canon bottle on the end, but I have no choice on that one.

I also have some very bad news. My son has informed me that he wants to
sell his Z-10 and the 2 lenses in favour of a digital P and S. I have
tried persuading him against it, but to be honest, I can't blame him - I
always hated the adage 'do what I say, not what I do'.

If at some point I decide to go back to film, then I will be guying a
Pentax 67 and a couple of lenses. It must be the best camera I never had.


Cheers,
  Cotty
