(the first, not the second. I kept the 67 ;-) ) But you're right. Normal people wouldn't do what I did. Blowing a wad of cash on a high end digital camera and lenses when they've just been laid off. There was method in my madness though. Having the gear has proved an invaluable sideline and it looks like I will be heaviliy in demand next year (fingers crossed!) I admit that I sold some Pentax stuff along the way, but I wouldn't have had to if they'd been a bit quicker in shipping that darn *istD!!
