I doubt that I'd last long in my present job if I didn't give new stuff a try but I reject stuff that just doesn't improve the job at hand. I get to use all types of cameras both film and digital - Canon, Minolta, Nikon, Fuji etc. sadly not many Pentax, I still prefer the aperure control on the lens. I'm not saying that body aperture control is wrong I'm just stating a preference.
