Quite right Yelvertoft--which is why most of my kit is actually not far above the 'prosumer' level. You have grasped the wrong end of the stick slightly; I am not saying that kit matters more than skill, merely that cameras were generally far better built in 70s than today. The Leica I own is a rebadged Minolta really. What I am referring to when I say 'crappy plastic and silicon' camera could be something like a D90--which will certainly not produce shabby pictures at all. I am referring to build quality; while the pictures it produces will be excellent, will it be able to keep on working after 40 years?
