Here's my message in a little bit more condensed fashion. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________ I am at a crossroads. For several years I used a Nikon F3 system exclusively. I easily have equipment I could probably realize $1,500 to $2,000 or possibly a little more. I have now been using a extensive "M" outfit for almost a year & do not see using the Nikon gear much, if at all. I have not even opened the bag since May & I had the F3 CLA'd in January, so it would be a good time to sell it if I'm going to. I do not do sports or wildlife photography, so I really do not need the long lenses for much of anything. I have occasionally used the close-up capabilities for copying old photos and photographing stationary objects (Wildflowers in the spring, etc.) but I feel like I might be better served in picking up a Visoflex III & maybe a 65 and/or 200 lens & bellows to use with mainly my M6, or sometimes the M4 for those very few times I do those things. For the 4 or 5 times a year I would do that, wouldn't it work as well? I know there are probably several others in the same type situation & I have been tossing this idea back & forth for several weeks. I think that somehow I am sentimentally tied to this old equipment & if I just did it (sold it) I would probably feel a lot better. Greg
