My father was in town last week. I asked him how he liked his DSLR. He said he didn't have one (it is his wife's)- he has a SLR. He then asked if I wanted it. After thinking about this for roughly 100 milliseconds, I said yes. I am about to get into dangerous territory (you can never have too many lenses )

I know it is getting harder to find people to develop. I may have to make a dark room in my mother in law suite. I think I am going to need a part time job
