Hi Bob, There's alot of Williams and Bills on the list (almost as many as there is Bobs :-) ) and I think that you have the original poster mixed up with me. I agree that Utah is beautiful, and I love to get out and shoot as much as I possibly can. That's not nearly as much as I would like,

I'm not sure that I should celebrate or not. I have won a BIN 400 f5.6 Takumar for about 45 US. It is said to have a permanently attached 2X converter on it. Nothing is permanent. I will let the list if it is a "door stop" or something usable - but for 45.00? Regards, Bob Rapp {:~) [EMAIL PROTEC
