I would not offer ridiculous amounts on Exxx, but it should give you an idea of the top price to pay. If you have a flea market, OOPS, Camera Show coming to your area, that may be a good opportunity. But do not go without some knowlege of realistic values. ============================================================ > I'm not vain, and want to find a cheap cap that will > protect my > lenses without setting me back a fortune.

When I wanted some extra M caps, I bought some of the Minoltas. They fit just fine. > Regards, > Michael Gerard > geeman1066@earthlink.net > > -- > To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
