Hi John
Thanks for the info. It looks good through the viewfinder, but the proof
will be in the photos. It is all metal, and as you say, built like a tank. I
figured that at the price it wasn't worth haggling. One of the US mail order
places still has it listed for $250 US.
By the way, I got it from Photo Continental. I'm a Brisbane boy, too!
