It sure he...Thanks a lot for your comment, Michael.<br />It sure helps a lot that these cameras are built as tanks. I seem to be a lot more careful when I happen to use one of the "new" plasticy cameras. They are lighter, usually, but then again a few of them are stuffed with heavy battery packs. Well, that's for a different discussion later on, probably.<br />I really hope your leg is getting better soon!Roy Karlsvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805712465787215923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123989647659569518.post-88080534248404295872017-02-09T11:57:42.255+01:002017-02-09T11:57:42.255+01:00Great post.

And, as you say, reasonably cheap these days. Certainly meant to be used. Think of all those war photographers - man those cameras took some abuse, and survived.<br /><br />A couple of nice snaps, there too, just for good measure :)Michael McNeillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11247145157454447816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123989647659569518.post-11083980681894666032017-02-09T09:25:34.735+01:002017-02-09T09:25:34.735+01:00Great post.

I, however, had to give up that at some point as I seem to not be able to keep them in a visual good condition if I use them. So I had to decide use over looks at one point, and have never been looking back.<br />But again, that's just me. Other people seem to be a lot better in managing how they treat their things, which is very good indeed! :)Roy Karlsvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805712465787215923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123989647659569518.post-23452583707491870232017-02-06T16:47:14.041+01:002017-02-06T16:47:14.041+01:00I like it when my cameras look pristine, but I don...I like it when my cameras look pristine, but I don't sweat it when they don't. Actually, a camera in obviously used condition is likely to get more use from me, because I won't worry about whether it gets another ding or scratch!Jim Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941665968757241278noreply@blogger.com
