I should clarify that I don’t even have a Maserati and have never driven my Blackwing at 206 mph. I am relying on magazine tests. I stay in 1st gear for safety.

OK, so you have a $120k car.

How much do you spend on your cameras? What kind?

I was a photo major in college circa ‘75/76. I had a Nikon F, a couple of Mamiya TLR’s with extra wide angle lens’, a 35mm Minolta, and a couple of others that I can’t remember.

I sold all that stuff as the college had these Calumet 4x5 view cameras for us to use. These took the best B&W pic’s of them all - better than using PanX in the 35’s and the TLR’s.

Canon came out with the first auto at that time - the AE-1.

Yes, I’m getting old. Thinking of getting a new camera. The iPhone 15 Pro does pretty good though.
