I actually love the look of battered old kit. I was browsing through a collection of Don McCullin's war photos the other day, and on the back of the book was a pic of his Nikon F: battered, scuffed and mangled...I thought it looked great. I also remember the feeling of "cred" I had when my old F4(which I'd bought secondhand) started to get worn down to the brass on the corners...I felt like a proper photographer!
