"Don't Do It!"

Big Daddy Bosco told me of his plans to
possibly sell off his great manual lens collection
to finance his move ahead into the digital realm with
a body like the D700.

As much as I love the D700, I told him, 'Daddy, don't
do it!!'

And why not?

Because bodies, especially digital bodies come and go,
but lenses are forever baby!

By the way, that's a point Bosco already knows all too well :-)
