I think my future purchases of equipment will be Ebay and Craigslist. I sort of got out of photography there for awhile due to the cost of equipment.

My Sony DSLR can use all the old Minolta Maxxum lenses and it is great glass at bargain prices. Most of the lenses I use date from 1985 or earlier. That stuff doesn't wear out.

The purists rant about different coatings and other changes but I don't have any problems. The old lenses are a lot heavier but I can handle that.

I have a couple of good cameras gathering dust because of the digital revolution. The Hasselblad C503 is the one that hurts my heart.
