Great idea, Mike! Now, will you help me convince my wife how
much I NEED that 2nd M6?
I just know that I'll hear, "I thought that was the thing about
cameras with bayonet lens mounts...fast lens changing"! That
extra second here and there is a non-item for her. You should
have heard her when I started on how I really NEEDED to get a
new and faster computer. She said, "you're retired! What do you
care about a few seconds"?
Same girl that upon watching me play golf for the first time early
on in our marriage, declared, "look, I have brothers and I know
that in baseball, the pitcher is doing everything in his power to
keep you from properly hitting the ball. That stupid golf ball is
stationary...why can't you hit it correctly all the time"?
Difficult logic with which to argue.
