It probably take him 3-4 hours to design and check the prototypes to make sure it fits etc. On Sat, Apr 7, 2012 at 3:48 PM, Dante Stella <dstella1 at ameritech.net> wrote: > When will photographers realize they are not walking ATMs? > > Dante > > On Apr 7, 2012, at 17:46, Chris Crawford <chris at chriscrawfordphoto.com> > wrote: > > > Geoff, that one in your link costs 90 Euros. > > > > Am I the only one insulted by that price?
