I bought a 35 becuase I felt 28 gave too much distortion for "street photography", but sometimes the 35 is just not wide enough. However 28 is too close to 35, so I thought I might replace the 28 with a 24. At the same time, I could do with a second body. As a consequence, I am considering a deal with my local shop, trading in the 28 plus cash (lots) for a 24 and a secondhand M6 body. The problem is that I'm only getting half of what I paid for the 28 (latest, boxed and in mint condition) - about $850. I think I might be better selling the 28 privately, or doing a private swap for a less than mint M6, but prices are higher here, and $850 might be reasonable. Any comments? >> shoot a decent picture of it, set a realistic reserve and take a whirl at ebay. The worst you'll do is waste a week of time and you may far exceed your expectations. Remember those those suckers which are born every minute? A lot of them seem to congregate on ebay . . . Bob (actually likes ebay a lot) McEowen
