I feel like groaning whenever I start seeing a long, too-serious thread which seems to equate possession of certain goods with happiness, sophistication, superior intelligence or whatever, though I'll make exceptions in the case of fine baked goods, fresh fruit juices and chocolates! That said, anyone want to buy a barely-used Mont Blanc Meisterstuck 149?? (THE classic, fat fountain pen, not the skinny "econo" models) Would be much pleased to sell, else apply towards a modernish 90 f/2.8-M, RRS M plate, Gitzo 026, a lens stacking cap (yes!) or some other incredibly useful M-related item.
