Sometimes I really like Doric - Nice!

Biggest I ever had was a Mamiya 645S, and the dumbest thing I ever did was part-exchange it for my first digital camera.
Yeah I know, and I feel sick every time I think about it, I absolutely adored that camera and system.

BTW, I don't mind being called a pumice, pommel-head or whatever on this occasion - so let rip dude ;-)
Actually, don't do that, spare the thread (and my embarrassment).
