(it takes a few months for Magazines to get here.... and believe it or not it was the first one I looked at. The only reason I noticed this was I had a chance to buy a 35mm Minolta and a 35 Topcor (both of which I've never seen in Shutterbug) both in LTM for $150 in Costa Rica..... I'm still kicking myself for not buying them... I really wanted to buy a IIIF RD he had.... but he wanted $1000 for the body..... ex+ condition, no ST and it was dead in the water... I joked that the lenses were probably worth more the camera was.... and nobody would give $1000 for that..... he scoffed at me... and that was the end of our conversation. So, I'd hang on to it... and hold out for more like $700 at least. It's value will only grow. But you have to find a buyer who is willing to pay what you are asking. Duane
