Seems like a good argument for carrying an XA loaded with print film, in your
top pocket a lot of the time.
We used to have the same argument, especially when the kids were small.
Since *she* snaffled my first Rollei 35, the argument has diminished a lot.
(2nd hand for $US65 ? 15 years ago, it was a snip then and is still going
strong. Being transported in a blue/grey Olympus XA bag I picked up
somewhere has made all the difference <g>)
