At least that's been my impression over the last few years. > I have really come away disappointed... I don't know. I have nothing to compare it to. Though I've shot for 15 years 'professionally' and have been into photography for nearly 20 years, the PHSNE show last spring is the first that I've ever been to. I got my M5 there, when I has only gone to look around. I was totally impressed because the show had far an above more merchandise (yeah a lot of crap too) than any other hand on marketplace of photography I've ever been to. Some of the vendors were not as willing to float on price at all, but as I said, I've nothing else ot compare it to. I don't think I got raped for my M5. I paid about $100 more than Sherry said I should for it, but I've not seen one in the same or better condition since for the same money. Michael
