[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]After receiving a great deal of both positive and negative email on my posting about the value of the 35-70/2.8 lens, and after seeing two people I respect being given a hard time; I decided to phone the camera store in Montreal and find out what happened. Naturally they are only willing to say so much but here is what I found out: 1) The lens was sold within minutes of the post going up on the LUG. 2) The lens was shipped to the person who purchased it and they, of course cannot release their name. 3) The purchaser was not in Montreal or Hong Kong. 4) My email had no effect on the sale or sale price. 5) After all the hullabaloo and phone calls, they do not think they will advertise on the LUG again. Cheers, John Collier PS: Perhaps we should not blacklist anyone except me over this one. I must confess that I still feel I did the right thing but I also do not feel that anyone acted incorrectly by trying to take advantage of a very good deal.
