Some fella on some list was bemoaning the fact that he sold all his film
cameras and the Aurora Borealis sky stuff he was witnessing which comes
round every hundred years was much more suited for film and he kind of
blew it. I assume he was getting a whole lot of noise on the digital end.
"God!" I thought, "He sold every single one of his film cameras" just
like thousands of other… well I wont call them names.
Don't burn your bridges folks. And it's that "trading" thing I keep
bemoaning about.
I say if you need gear get the money to buy it!  Don't get it from
putting up anything not glued down on ebay.
