New technology

I am a photography buff and have been for years. I have been lusting for a digital SLR forever and finally bought one today. I'm so excited! I got more than I expected and about 30 bucks under my maximum budget. The painful part is I have to wait until tomorrow to play with it while I wait for the battery to charge. I read the manual today and I think I'll be more than happy with my purchase.

Now to the disappointing part. My OLD stand by - a Pentax ME Super SLR which I bought about 30 years ago is a great film camera. I have three great lenses including an 80-200mm zoom. The big lens has hardly been used, so I thought maybe some dinosaur like me would like to buy it on E-Bay.

OH MY GOD was I ever disappointed! I found an ME Super with 50mm lens PLUS the 80-200 mm lens for $22! I can't believe that someone won't pay more money for this great old camera. I'll just hang on to it and maybe I'll take it out and play with it now and then. I probably won't, looking at what my new camera can do. But my frugal Norwegian nature will kick in and I'll keep it until NO ONE supports film cameras. I totally see myself doing this.

Oh, and the ad on E-Bay said the camera was "vintage" I guess I'm vintage, too. Crap.
