Hi Stefan,
If you are going to be in Southern California tell me when and I'll take you
to the camera swap meet in Buena Park! This is a great way to save some
money on used and new equipment. There are a couple of EOS listers who meet
up once in a while and walk around at the show. Do you know when you will
be coming to California? Let me know and I'll find some of the guys to meet
up with and have coffee and donuts with you!
Cheers/Chip
