I used one for a while that was given to a Greek friend of mine by a genuine member of the mafia. Him and his wife went to dinner at this guy's house, and my friend Tom mentioned that he was a photographer. The mafia guy says "Oh, let me show you my camera", and gets his Hassy out. This was long before Tom opened his camera store, and being a newlywed, he mentioned that he loved the camera, and hoped to own one some day. The guy gave it to him on the spot!

Great story, all true. Anyway, I thought they were the bee's knees until I saw the Mamiya RB67. Ten grand later, I had a pretty sweet outfit. Now I hate professional photography. Digital sucks compared to film, and the customers are stupid, and no one appreciates actual skill for the craft. I have a complete studio with Speedotron lighting for sale right now, and all people want is the backdrops and stand. They figure that their built-in GN33 flash is all they need.

I'll go pull my hair out now. Rant over.

To anyone looking for a new digital camera - it doesn't matter what you get, just learn to push the limits of what it can do. I still take my snaps with Madman's old digital Elph, rather than my 10D.
