Originally posted by PGillin That's some really nice equipment. It looks like it was bought yesterday! Why can't mine look like that?
And I agree, original is always best. I shed a few manly tears when my original lens cap FLEW off the side of a cruise ship...
"Why can't mine look like that"?......To be honest......probably, because you are sensible, in which respect I mean that, you probably actually USE your equipment more than I do!
I do use mine, but having "pristine" equipment is pretty important to me....it certainly doesn't enable me to take any better quality photos, but it very certainly increases my enjoyment & satisfaction, of using this stuff, particularly as I have said, when I am finding that I have to pay an increasingly high price, and consequentlymake a larger financial sacrifice, to get the original, as new, factory product.
