love my camera MUCHHH.
totally identify with the author who wrote this, " It has taken thousands of portraits of people whose names I can't remember, but whose faces I will never forget. A little girl with her prized pet turkey.....The paint on the 24mm's focus ring has worn down to the brass from the times I've touched it. I know the sound of the mirror flop as well as I know the beat of my own heart. I know the action of its controls more in my hands than I do in my head. I have held it so many times it has become an extension of me. It has never failed me."

well, different context for me, my trusty FG still has a few more decades to travel with me, but the 24mm lens that i have is a GEM. i dont regret the 500bucks i paid for it because its given me some pretty awesome shots. such as these...

and i'm sure once i get home to develop the few rolls of film that i've shot here, i'll be even happier with it!

but with all that being said, i love how my cameras all fit into my hand as if their grips were made for me. and i should probably start shooting more.
