Kyle,

The reason to sell items separately is so that people can buy what they
want. If you sell it as a package then the chap who wants your 28 will not
be able to afford it. By all means sell the 28 with its finder but sell the
bayonet adapter separately from the LTM lens. Again so people can buy only
what they want. Shipping is usually not included in the purchase price so it
will not matter to you, make sure that you state all conditions clearly and
simply.

Cheers,

John

PS No nude photos, the religious right will enjoy looking at the pictures
but will feel compelled to email you about your immoral ways (after having
downloaded the pictures). This gets to be quite tedious after awhile.

PPS: Why not put them up here first!!!!!!!
