After a decade, I'm pretty speedy for film loading. All of my 67 gear was purchased new and is insured for new replacement -- I'm just curious if the market for it has crashed enough for me to lower my coverage on the kit.
Peter, I highly recommend the 75mm f2.8 AL -- easily the best lens I've used in any format. -Aaron -----Original Message----- From: "Peter Fairweather" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subj: Re: value of 67 gear?

The real value is in the fantastic photos it takes. In the UK you can insure it "new for old" so if anything happens to it, you'll make some dealer very happy who still has stock. A second hand 800mm lens recently went for nearly £3000, a lot less than the new price but hardly insignificant. Must get back to learning to load a film in less than five minutes!!
