Yeah (I try not to think about it...). Nothing sad about being force to
pull out the Mamiya or the Linhof more frequently though, so it's all

Ah, I suspect when I have the space for a "man cave" the same would
(naturally) apply. At this stage, we have a small shared "newly-wed
cave" so it'll probably all normalise in a couple of years.
Our Maine Coon luckily does not lick or eat cameras!
