Folks, I know Frank's going to read this but I thought, seeing as how times are tough for him (equipment wise) and he's offered help to so many others on the list maybe we could do him a favor in return.
Anyone willing to join me in chipping in to perhaps get him what he needs - something equivalent to his beloved Vivitar S1 24-48 lens - I'm not sure what could replace it or if anyone has a comparable "user" that they are willing to let go for a song. You can reply to me off list if you think you'd like to help out or if you think I'm being a goofball for asking about this. :-) Cheers, Dave Original Message: ----------------- From: frank theriault [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 08:16:58 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: what a great place! Last night I whined that I'm having some equipment problems. I may <g> have exaggerated some, but in fact, over the last week or two, I've had one body and one lens go down. It was my favourite body, and my favourite lens. Several on this list, thinking that I may be completely without photographic equipment, wrote to me last night, offering to loan me some bodies and lenses for a period of time. That won't be necessary, and I've written each of them individually to thank them, but I continue to be amazed at what a wonderful community this is. thanks again, frank -- "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds.
