No apologys necessary... we all knew what you meant anyway. On an

occasionally.

my original post inferred that I'd dropped, thrown and abused much of the
equipment I had... well, this is true...! This stuff is made to be used, and
as I'm no couch potato (although being now over thirty is taking its toll)
accidents will happen...! Don't let my experiences put you off taking some

Well said. One thing I've noticed since joining this list is that my
Zuikoholism gets out of control regularly. When I see something for sale and
start salivating, I need to keep saying to myself, "Paul, do you really need
that? Is it really going to help you take better photographs?" More often than

too. And I can't forget the 35 shift.
