I wasn't trying to say it's cheap in terms of build quality or how it works. It's cheap in terms of what you'll get for it should you sell it. If your only going to get $25 for it, I'd keep it, just as a kick-around body - a back-up should something go on the MX, something to use while the MX is getting fixed. It's value to me was more than what I could have gotten by selling it. It did break down, and due to it's value, wasn't worth fixing. I paid $20 for it, but really only wanted the M 2.0 50mm that was on it. Used it for a year or more - got my money's worth. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
