Richard,

Richard,

My question wasn't about the the utility of a trade since I am not using the 
.95 enough to factor into my current % happiness in number or perceived 
quality of images. I am just wondering if the dollar value of such a trade 
would be equitable. 

Party A has a Nocti 1 and Monochrom they don't use, but would really like to 
own a barely used Nocti .95. Party B has a Nocti .95 she doesn't care much 
for but who would like to own and use a Monochrom and Nocti 1.0. Assuming 
comparable working condition of all the equipment, would the monetary value 
in such a trade be relatively equal? 

Sue

Hope that helps.
