Sell MY Hektor!!!!!!!?????!!!!!
And let SOMEONE ELSE SHOOT WITH IT!!!!!!?????
Don't forget i traveled  2348 miles with this lens already!
	over many Texas draws and Arizona washes.
I'd never sell it!!! It's MINE!!!

but seriously John, i did see all kinds of Elmars and Hektor f4's at Portland
last swap meet a few weekends ago going for 70 80 bucks.
So I'll have to pick up one of those. For yet one more fingerprint.

Mine cost me an even 100 bucks and was made in the early 50's.

I guess it would be stupid investing too much cash in filters for this thing but
maybe a lens shade and I'll just use it for the Viso.
Thanks John.
