COME EAST, YOUNG MAN! The experience at Eastern shows is a bit different. M6's go in the $1,800 range GENERALLY for E++/M- condition, and a three-lug M5 may raise to that on a given day. A two-lugger, though, will bring a fair amount less. I have the February, '97, issue of Pop before me as I write this: B&H (after rebate): $2195, Adorama (before rebate) $2495, Focus $2795. If anyone is at $1950, I can't find their ad! Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
