We've been through the "haven't you got enough lenses now?" sound-barrier, so are now in clearer air as far as that is concerned.

It's merely the bulk buying of two or three years worth of film in one go that is the issue. If I were to buy on a credit card (I have one with a Base Rate interest rate) and make a stranding order so that the thing is repaid in two years, it seems to make perfect sense to me.

Anyone want to buy a fridge full of film?
