Just over a year ago -- September of 2000 -- I bought brand new
from B&H an OM-4Ti, Motor Drive 2 with battery pack and charger.
That ought to be enough of a contribution for two years. Maybe an
E-20 this spring before going to Alaska in June. My spousal
excuse will be that it's necessary to avoid any airport film x-ray
hassles.
