Nikoneers: I'm on vacation in Washington DC and on a walk downtown yesterday I passed Penn Camera, which is on the street in back of the FBI headquarters. They've got a wonderful selection of F4 and other bodies in the windows and - get this - a load of rare Nikkors (well, I don't see these ones very often, anyway) on sale as demos. They've got (or had, as of yesterday) a 200/2.0, a 1200/11 (yes, 1200), a 200/4 Micro and many more. The prices are quite good and they look (at least through the window) to be in fine shape. I discovered them just as they were closing but didn't have a chance to go in, so I can't attest as to their optical condition, but everything looked very presentable. I wonder why a small store would stock a 1200. Could it have been a special order that the Feds decided to pass up? Anyway - enjoy, if you've got the dough! David Basskin
