# I would be if it was a track that was in use.
You can't see in that pic but the tops of the tracks are rusty so it hasn't been used for years.

# I know
I want a tripod and a wireless shutter release. I'm also umming and arring whether to bother getting a fisheye adaptor.

I've had to send my flashgun off to get it's shoe replaced. Before that my previous expenditure was on some diffusers.

# I just read

I am glad you didn't say you preferred it to kittens.
