Then on S3D, Dr.T writes that he will be loaning out his
personal Realist camera in his Rent-A-Realist program.
Specifically he writes,

Now I'm really curious. George, why don't you want to sell it?
I'm assuming the lens quality is the same. I can't imagine it's
sentimental value! Lucky camera? First love? Mint condition?
Other special souped up features!?! Should I rent it, to see
what I'm missing from the one I bought from you? Inquiring
minds wanna know!!! ;-)
