@kdfrawg I often feel that the closer something is to me, the less able I am to be open minded about it. In my mind, I know it's a pretty rare and expensive camera, and I would never dream of doing that. In someone else's mind, it probably was Just Another Camera, albeit a weird one, yet even knowing that I find it hard not to feel quite negative about the whole situation.
Thankfully nothing bad came of the event other than 2 frames of film being wasted, but I think I'll need to be a little more vocal about things next time.
