This has been the hazard for me.  I've only recently discovered the treasures
available on auction, and so far have avoided getting caught up in a bidding
frenzy on anything of significant cost.  But I saw a barndoor lens shade for a
Summitar sitting at a very low point, so I put in a bid and got it for about
half what several had gone for a week or two earlier.  But now I need a
Summitar, and they aren't going cheap.  What's a guy to do?

Cheers,
Kip
