I had found that even with proper credentials I still had trouble from time to time with people who had more rank than brains. I hjave a few amusing stories about deflating egos, but not for now. I eventually bought a new black one with the compact lens, and then got a black Rollei 35 in '69. The black pen then went unused. I still have those toys and am debating selling them. If anyone is interested, please contact me privately. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
