James... That's a deal. And yeah, the lenses are pricey, but only relatively, that is, when you consider the negative size and the prints/scans possible from them any extra cost is worth it. But there are deals out there on lenses, too. KEH usually has a number of good 67 lenses for not much more than comparable 35mm lenses. I recently picked up a later model 165mm f2.8 for only $150 at a retail place so there are some bargains out there. Just keep an eye out.
I've been scanning some new negs and positives I shot over the weekend with the 67II and although I wish we had more weather (read: clouds) some of the images are really nice. -Brendan --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Well, I just won an MLU 67 with metered prism for > USD$321.
