Nor do I. They (camera makers) figured out a while back that making cameras which last 30+ years isn't conducive to turning a profit. While I can't blame them, I certainly miss the stuff that was made to last. Old cameras, bicycles, even small kitchen appliances are much more interesting to me than the latest and greatest (which is more or less disposable). Being able to repair and maintain something myself is a lot of fun, and, I believe, more economically and ecologically responsible. I generate enough trash as it is. Then again, if I were making money with my cameras I'd probably have a different point of view. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
