May 19: Cash in the hat

This is the exact amount of money my 35RC cost. It's also the amount of money I have left after buying a DSLR. Which got me thinking about how much this digital thing has cost. It's not just the cameras. Hard drive upgrades, printers, ink, paper, software... I've bought at least 4 bits of software that I no longer use. And those 128Mb memory cards cost a small fortune back in 2002. Utterly useless now of course. And I look at the new DSLR and realise that it does exactly the same as my 50E did... just without using film... I like film...

Canon EOS 5D
1/125s f/5.6 at 50.0mm iso100 full exif

Is sterling real money any more ?

Yes, but think of all the money you saved by going back to analog...
