Has the noun 'resilience' got anything to do with the verb 'to resile' ?

To some degree I have resilience.  And I still have a perfectly good OM-1.

My partner came into some money the other day and donated me a small 
part of it. Through a process of convoluted reasoning, I deduced therefore 
that if I used some of that gift I would myself be paying only half the 
purchase price for that Kiev 4, which was more reasonable  ..... and so it 
arrived at my door at 8:15 this morning.

A fascinating beast, with a lot in common with my Contaflex from the 1960's.

It should be a fun toy; I need to get back into B&W to do photography maybe 
more in tune with it's character.

One certainly appreciates the integrated functions of a modern camera, 
when going back to this.

The vendor is quite a photographer in his own right, and this Kiev 4 was one 
of 3 he imported from a reputable Ukraine vendor a little while ago.

I praised the images he showed on the auction site, and asked what gear he 
used for them.
