More like will I let her touch it.
I used to do pro wedding photography with a film SLR in upstate NY when we lived there.
Actually she is very well versed in SLR photography.
She worked for Kodak in Albany NY at the time.
Plus I'm scared of her.
Ground glass hurts when it comes out.

Awesome camera, Bill.

Sweet.......

can't wait to see some of your pics now.

nice camera.

I tried doing photography for Playboy once but every time I got close to a model something came up and ruined the shot.

What was that, Bill?

Sorry, Sharon. But you know, when Bill leaves an opening like THAT on the table, somebody HAS to go for it!

Hey, Bill...are the lenses for the dig. SLR cameras interchangeable with some of the lenses for the film SLRs? I remember my old Pentax K-1000. The body cost next to nothing compared to the lenses. And if some of the old lenses will work on dig. cams, I would think a person could pick up some really expensive lenses, for a song, 'cause most people that are buying dig. cams, aren't going for the high end SLR models.

A lot of the lenses for the dig SLR cameras are interchangeable with the lenses for the film SLRs. We have a 2000mm lens from our old film SLR that I'll be working with soon.

That's great! I bought my old Pentax body, with a 55mm lens and a hard case, for $125, but when I got done, I had over $1,500 invested in lenses, and I bought them all used. It took two more hard cases to hold all the lenses. All I ever did was B+W, though.
