The season is almost here and we are all gearing up for it. Gear! You can never have enough. In the film days, I would always carry 3 bodies with me. If one went down, I still had two. The third was somewhat of a security blanket. Mamiya would usually turn a repair around in less than a week. (They truly are the benchmark when it comes to customer service.) No problem. Then comes Digital. Send in a body for repair to either C or N, and you could be looking at 2 weeks or longer. The power of 3! I had planned on my wedding kit to include two bodies (I just bought them within the last 4 months), but as Murphy’s Law would prove, two is not enough. So off to the Camera shop I went to buy a third one. So keep that in mind before the season starts, There is a price to be paid for sanity.
