 Harry, for me it was a combination of the IIIG loaned to me by the security
guard at the NU Tech building and the death of my Nikons' resistor rings.
Bought an SL and never regretted it.  I don't need it because my engineering job
feeds my family.  I'll never sell it because using it feeds my spirit.
