I was making a comparison based upon spending a few hundred dollars or 
5000 Reichmarks and then looking at the results. Personally, I hate the 
Nikkormats but have a near new F3, 24,35,50 1.4, 55 2.8, 100 2.8 
(Vivitar) and a  200 f4. (just looked in a drawer and found a Tamron 
19-35 and a Tokina doubler)  I think I have too much unused junk and 
since this is Friday, I'm open for offers. :-)

Keep shooting but watch out for sunspots
