There is a pretty big difference between the ergonomics and useability of a Null-series replica and an SP. One is a pain in the ass to use, except for the occasional nostalgic chuckle, and the other is what used to be a top of the line pro-camera. > If I had the money and desire to buy the thing I wouldn't let people >touch it without first donning gloves. But I don't and I don't and I won't. So, if you had $8000 for a new Canon 1Ds II body, would you keep that in a case, too? We have people on this list roaming the streets with at much as $7000 bucks hanging around their necks. Heck it would be more profitable to knock Ted off, when he's on an assignment, than a Brinks money truck. 8-) Feli -dan c. >> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feli di Giorgio feli2@earthlink.net www.elanphotos.com
