Well-known
Mine goes something like:
Before Sept 2006: one damned SLR after another, starting with a Pentax K1000 circa 1978 and ending with a Canon 300D in 2004
Sept 2006: A rangefinder
Sept 2006 - April 2007: 3 more rangefinders
The future
May 2007 - a MF rangefinder
Dec 2007 - A nice big cupboard like Keith's, to keep all the rangefinders in
Dec 2008 - A bigger house, with a spare room to keep all the rangefinders in
