I am thankful to all those who bought new so that I can afford to buy used. I hope you had fun with the gear before you sold it to the likes of me. I hope it didn't just gather dust on your shelves for that would have truly been a shame and a waste of money. I am sure my R4, 90/2.8, 50/2, 35/2, 24/2.8 and 100/4 macro bellows take just a good a photo as they did when new and 2-4x what I paid for them. They shouldn't drop too much more, but I didn't buy them for an investment. Aram > Date: Mon, 08 Oct 2001 09:59:53 -0400 > From: "B. D.
