If you want to be a pro photographer, better sell the boat... you're gonna need the money to buy gear.<<

Hi Cal...I hear you!!! However, I _do_ have some nice, but old, cameras, that I bought new...a Leica lllF with 2 wide angle, 2 normal and 3 tele lenses, and a Rollieflex..all bought in the 50-60's when they were cheaper, and I had no dependents (and made less $$$) Also have 2 Minox B's (chrome & black) that I got reasonably, from E-bay. I worked in a camera store then...before the computer career that I retired from. The Olympus does a very god job for what we intended. Harvey/Ga M-17 Stargazer #294
