But my M8 did not suddenly get worse when the M9 came out, and it continues to serve me well. One of my New Year's resolutions for 2013 (actually, more or less the only one) is not to fall for G.A.S. and just make pictures with the equipment I already have. So far so good, but of course we are only in early March ;-) Cheers, Nathan Nathan Wajsman Alicante, Spain http://www.frozenlight.eu http://www.greatpix.eu PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws Blog: http://nathansmusings.wordpress.com/ YNWA On Mar 9, 2013, at 12:21 AM, Tina Manley wrote: > But you probably buy the best tools available that enable you to do your > job - or you work for someone who buys them for you ;-) > > Tina > > On Fri, Mar 8, 2013 at 5:32 PM, Nathan Wajsman <photo at frozenlight.eu> > wrote: > >> The only thing I buy at full price is fuel for my car, since I have no >> choice there.
