Oh, so because you don't trust it, people aren't buying there? :-) I'm
sorry, friend, but you're wrong on this one. Those prices are, if
anything, a little high. I know I sold an M6TTL .85 here about five
months ago for, if I recall, around $1050. Yes, there are small shops,
and large fancy ones, where you can pay $1400 -  but why would you?

Ok, anywhere but ebay, which I am starting to trust less and less.
