BD and I did a swap several years back, as part of which he got my old 2/90 Pre-Asph (a magnificent lens) and I got his 2/90 Asph (a much more satisfactory lens for my purposes). So, in the end, it was a great deal, as we each got what we wanted. (I threw in a rather battered but useable 2.8F 12/24 Rolleiflex as boot, incidentally: even I, skunk that I may be, would never have taken advantage of someone as sweet, reasonable and kind as B.D. is.)
