Nothing funny to me about a pro or serious shooter not wanting to use
archaic gear. It's just sometimes I see wheeling and dealing where I
would be shooting and printing. But Hey! that's me; last time I looked.
But I also am guilty of feeling a personal allegiance toward much of my
equipment. And I would not betray the stuff by letting some other set of
grubby hands shoot with it. I know the stuff, it knows me. We've been
though thick and thin...gag.
