Same thing here, Rob, although I may keep bodies, that wount sell for a
decent (reserve)price. I like them all, but I only use them rarely. I'll
keep my MZ-S and my 6x6 equioment (Pentacon Six) for a while...

My point JCO, is that I never shot Tech Pan before so why would I start
now? And why would I compare it to the *ist D? Apples and Oranges.
Even I can see that. I implied that the D replaced film *for me*

I know I should sell the LX and MZ5n, but just can't bring myself to do it.
I recently shot a couple of rolls of HP5 in the MX with the 50/1.2 and the
results reminded me of why I enjoy B&W portraiture so much. The *ist-D is
the default choice for colour. I don't expect I'll ever buy another 35mm

I am down to an old ZX-10 of my wife's and an *ist film camera that my
daughter uses. I don't expect to buy any other film cameras. The
ZX-10 is never used. My daughter uses the *ist right now, but in the

Yeah, so I here. Even at 20K a digital back still makes economical

I have some Leica screw mount bodies, and Leica copies I am selling soon.
My Pentax ES and ESII's I will keep because of all the SMC Takumars I own.
I will sell my K2DMD and motor and keep my LX. My 645 I will keep.
I have an Optio 230 digital.
