ha ha, my missus doesn't show the same kind of enthusiasm.

Have you tried the argument that it's much, much cheaper than the depreciation on a FF digital camera? Oh. You've got one of those, too?

That's a good point Chris.

I could buy a new Nikon D4, or whatever number they're up to now, for, I don't know, let's say £3k.
In 5 years time I could sell it for maybe half that.

£1500 = about 400 rolls of film. At one a week that's nearly 8 years of film, and I'd still have my FG or whatever.

1) Never carry more than two cameras (they all look the same)
2) Have new acquisitions delivered to work.
3) Master this phrase "what this old thing? I've had it for ages."

It worked for @Andysnap for ages until @Mrs Snap started coming on film meets.

4) Make sure the executor of your will knows how much you actually paid for them

5) rotate constantly so she can never get an accurate count.

Please people, stop openly giving away secrets. Remember certain 'other's also read these posts. Loose lips cost cameras.
