So after an interminable period of not really having a camera I could use on a regular basis, I finally got a portion of my settlement from the insurance company. This allowed me to fill out my photo rig again, plus upgrade it a little. What I lost (for photo equipment anyway) was a Minolta Maxxum 5D DSLR, a Minolta Program 2500D flash and a Minolta 50mm f/1.4 lens. What I've replaced it with, on the other hand...
In my hot little hands are a brand new Sony Alpha 200 DSLR, along with a Sony VG-B30AM battery grip, a Lexar Professional 4GB Compact Flash card and a Tamron SP 17-50mm f/2.8 XR zoom lens. Complete, about half again the cost of what I lost. It's a good thing I never used most of the crap I had in my room. Now, if I can just get some time off from work...
