We can buy a body cap for $10.00. >You paid $2000.00 *with* a body cap. >You call that getting what you pay for? This last message led to a personal email exchange from Mr. Lednik, which included insults to Americans' intelligence, our inability to locate specific European locations on a map, and the USA's immigration policy which resulted in "jerks like" me etc. He also promised to give out my email address to his affluent and well-educated friends so they could harass me through email. (Ales also likes to point out that "America is not the heart of the world"...he mentioned that in every email he sent.) I think Ales is now trolling for flames. We're beginning to waste lots of bandwidth on the subject (this post included) and I think the best thing to do is to ignore his posts or respond through email. Please...let's get back to discussing photography! ZR
