I got them > direct from Minolta. About 6 years ago while covering a NASCAR race the window on my R4 came out fogging a roll of film. I put black gaffer tape over it, forgot about it and used the camera for several years for almost no cost at all. About the only good use of tape on a camera IMHO, to fix it when it breaks. But then again I grew up on a farm in Tennessee and I believe anything can be fixed with duct tape. :) Harrison McClary http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto
