Actually I shouldn't complain (or ask about sisters!). Once or twice a year
I get to choose and She (who must be obeyed) gets to pay. A surprise would
be nicer, but since she doesn't have a clue about cameras.....
Last Christmas it was a 100/2. I'm sure I'll find something this year,
although she may not like it if I find an 8mm!
In terms of supporting / not supporting the habit, I also get to point out
to her that she started it by once buying me an OM2 for my birthday and
resurrecting the craving which had died when my OM10 was stolen many years
before.

I'm still jealous BTW Markus......:-)
