I started just acquiring 1/2 frame cameras years ago for no other reason than I several dealers knew I had an Olympus and I apparently was the only user they knew. Each time I viited a store, I'd get throw a couple more. Then I made a mistake and bought a really nice Exacta and they found another outlet for what nobody wanted. Of course this happened before 1/2 became collectables and Exactas have only recently sarted to be recognized, but who was I to question. I traded the lot for my ETRS system, a Minox EC, and ML even up on day. I think the Minox 35mm will shortly become more desirable as a user item than they are. Part of this will be fueled by the new models which appear to be mfg'd outside of Germany. Also, collectors will sart grabbing them since there seems to be clutched of almost every model still new in box. The prices are very reasonalbe, even slightly depressed even for the MDC. It is a good time to get a them and all the accys. and stash them away. Good hunting. At 10:30 PM 11/20/96 -0700, you wrote: >> From: dlevy@worldy.com >> >> Oh, okay. Sorry, I don't have one.
