Shall I bother explaining about the arthritis in my jaw that makes any prolonged tension on the bits that drive my jaw joint 'somewhat of a nuisance'? - which was what screwing up my eye to peer through an M6 v/f was doing (to the extent that I no longer enjoyed using the camera) - NAH!!!! Shall I bother explaining that I.am fully aware that an F5 is relatively heavy - which is why ( together with the above problem) that I dont flaunt it round my neck but either tuck it under an armpit on a shoulder strap or carry it in a backpack until I want to hold its nicely balnced body by that integral handgrip which just fits my hand sooo comfortably? - NAH!!!!!! Shall I bother explaining that I already had access to a range of Nikon MF and AF equipment (including an F100)?- NAH!!!!! Shall I bother explaining that part exchanging my M6 and lenses left me with only a minimal amount to pay for the (almost new) F5 and a similar (reasonably new and latest spec.)range of lenses ? - NAH!!!!!! Shall I bother explaining that I took the decision that taking any photos was better than taking none - which was were I was ending up with the M6? - NAH!!!! Shall I bother explaining that with an F100 I took more, properly exposed and properly focussed pictures on a recent ten day holiday than I've taken in the last year with the M6 (and enjoyed taking them!)? - NAH!!!!!! Shall I bother explaining to Mark that Nikon don't make white lenses (its' those nasty tacky Canon plastic thingies that have those)? - NAH!!!!!! Shall I bother with any more? Shall I bother saying to the sad cases on the LUG "for heavens sake lighten up!" Shall I bother asking which, out of mine or Marks post, was more like a troll? - NAH!!!!! Shall I bother saying that the pointless and unwarranted abuse and misinterpretation of a genuine thank you has made me extremely glad that I no longer need have anything to do with Leica users who think theirs is the only true path? - YES ; YES: and thrice YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
