>>>Klaas...doesn't matter what the price is in McKeowns, the regular F2.8's
>sell at about $250-$350 in the states...

>>Hmmm, Harry, when was the last time that you sold a 2.8 for $250 ???
You advertise in Shutterbug that you buy those at $250.  They usually sell
for $350 or more...


Dr. T...if you PROMISE to buy the next F2.8, I'll find you one or more
before the next NSA show, at about $250!  You and I both know that the
Realist is subject to wear across the top, and to pitting on the front and
top. Plus, often the covers are off, and the slow speeds are s-l-o-w. In the
Bug, I offer prices for mint or exc, but I'm often offered "users" which we
both know, you've lost your resolve and bought from me in the past. Remember
those F3.5 Realists that averaged about $75 each or less, and that giant
load of Kodaks for about the same price....? I'm already warming up a box in
the corner, labled "Dr T's next load of Realists"  :)
