I saved them and still used them for Canoe trips, where i wasn't too worried if they got dunked! I only sold them on E**y last year (and part exchanged one setup for a Schneider 150mm 5.6). Gotta say it was harder than I expected getting rid of them.... tim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
