Have we met? I have lots of jackets and coats - and not to be fashionable. They're all just different, for every type of weather we have. Cool, cool and dry, cool and wet. Cold, cold and dry, cold and wet and windy.... I've often said I have more jackets than regular clothes.

And as for camera equipment. Bicycling and photography were my two big hobbies. I grew up in a camera household. I've always had cameras and lenses. I don't do much photography anymore, but the equipment is still here (need anything?)

Thanks for all the replies!
