I have R gear that I want to trade for M if you are amenable, and no one has snapped it up for cash. Here is the list, and the prices I will ask for them. Your items seem to be fairly priced and total $4855.00 in value. If you'd like to choose gear up to that value, I can just sell off what is left. I don't have the lenses in front of me right now, so I can't do the serial numbers, but I'll describe their relative newness. R6 body with current style R winder and grip. Grip has a custom made epoxy surface which conforms to your fingers, making it much more ergonomically correct. EX+++ no dings or scratches, black. $1200.00 R8 body w/winder, Ex+++, mint -, winder edge has a small spot of paint missing, body is pretty much pristine. black. $1400.00 24mm R, mint-, latest style e60filter thread,hood. $750.00 35mm Summicron R, latest pre ROM style, e55 filter, ex+, just serviced by DAG with focus buttery smooth. $650.00 35-70 4 zoom, ROM, the perfect flash lens for the R8, or for walking around with one lens outdoors. Amazingly sharp, and the macro feature is sharp as well. LN- w/box, case. $700.00 90/2 Summicron 3 cam e55 filter, ex++, smooth, clean, few signs of use. $600.00 180 Elmarit 2.8, Pre APO mint- e67 filter, very compact and sharp $800.00 Don Chatterton has one for $1100.00 400 6.8 3rd cam slide focus w/o shoulder stock, I prefer monopod. EX+ $700.00 It's a pretty complete outfit which works for just about any situation if you're interested in it all. I have all digital Nikon SLR gear at work, and it just doesn't make sense to have the money tied up in two SLR systems. I don't think I've been through more than 20 rolls of film through both bodies combined since I put the outfit together. Let me know what you think, I am not looking forward to the agony of eBay, and a bunch of separate sales if I can avoid it cheers, Scott Stewart _________________________ Scott Stewart The Greenville News 305 S.
