My two trusty Canon SLR's (30 year old AT's) are my friends. I also shoot with a Mamiya 6 and I love the negatives but it still, after only two years or so isn't my friend. I doubt that I will live long enough for it to gain that status. I believe it was Ralph Steiner that said that there are only two hard things about photography: which direction you point the camera and when you do the shutter. Too bad we mortals can't remember that. I have periodically suffered from the same malady, but with a different twist. My two trusty Canon SLR’s (30 year old AT’s) are my friends.
