Hi All
 
I got stiffed on a scanner by some Ebay guy who refused to take it back for 
shipping damage and insisted that I send it back to the MFG.
So I filed a complaint and ebay for some reason Ebay sent me a $300 coupon. 
I think they do that if the seller has been deregistered and this guy was.
I guess he must have been a crook.
 
So I bought this chrome R8 instead and applied the coupon. Too bad I missed 
the mint one that sold last night but I guess this will be a good user.
The R8 looks real mean with a hooded first version 19 Elmarit. Reminds me of 
my Varex with that nasty 24 Isco. Be very afraid!

It's not the best deal standalone, but in combination with the coupon it 
turned out to be an R8 for about 450
 
Later
Javier
 
PS: If anybody has one, I guess I could still use a really beat up R8 to 
slap these plates on.
