I think I paid about $300+ for the Nikon F new with a standard pentaprism and f2 50mm lens, which I had converted by Nikon to AE for $30 when they offered that deal. The store in question was charging $600 for the pentaprism and $800 for the pentaprism and lens combined. I don't know what they wanted for an F body. But it seems the F is constantly rising in the market. Ever try to sell a used Olympus 4040 digital after the Oly 5050 came out? Want a real bargain in a new Nikon? Take a look at the latest Nikon FM family. I recall this baby will provide a full range of mechanical as well as electronic shutter speeds. I have no idea how Nikon did that. Leica Solms should have done it in the M7. I think the M7 furnishes two mechanical speeds. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
