Gene,

Actually, the dealer that snubbed me has some beautiful, near mint LSM 
cameras, including a IIIa,  IIIb und a IIIc .All have
lenses available including the f2.5 Hektor.

In my palmier days, I would have made an offer on the whole lot.  Kept 
what I wanted and fobbed off the rest.  On second
thought,  I want the Thambar set. since it is complete.

Jerry
