This is his last camera... so far!

Re: New toys ... (none / 1)

I just realized something. Giving a cameraholic a new baby is like giving a junkie a lifetime supply of crack cocaine! No intervention in the world can cure him now... ;)

Actually this is Colman (as played by Al Pacino) contemplating a failed attempt to apply talc to a certain wriggling young Irish bottom.

A likely story....

But I guess you've justified them as an investment. All collectors do, and with a careful eye and knowledge of the market, it is indeed a good investment.

Not a collector: there's maybe one lens I've bought recently that might appreicate in value. Well, the two cameras are out of production now, but they're not rare in any way - the one I got today is brand new.They probably won't lose much value, but I'd be very surprised to get a return on them of any consequence.
