Gooooooooood point. But these days there are $10 drug store throwaways which work almost as well. Cheers! That's one of the funny things about all of the emphasis we place upon camera and lens quality (and I'm as guilty as anyone); while I'm not suggesting that publishing should be our criteria for assessing value it amuses me to know that a couple of my published underwater shots of sea turtles were taken with Kodak disposable box cameras.
