Seeing as the rigid was rare (very rare according to Camera Quest) it should be worth more, correct? I've been told that the optical quality is no better or worse than the collapsible model so my thought was thus: I'm more a user than collector (perhaps "enthusiast" could resolve the debate between the two?) so if it was indeed worth more I'd rather trade it in and pick up two lenses (a normal Summar 50 mm and a wide-angle or a telephoto, let's say). What's the list's opinion? Is it worth more? Enough to do the trade? What lenses (cheap but usable) would be recommended? Thanks, Paul
