Yeah, well, Chang-Sang owned it afore me! Did you WD-40 my lens for me, Dave? <vbg>
Seriously, I know Dave only had it for a short time. It's had ~at least~ 3 owners, and very likely more - hell, it's almost 30 years old. Who knows how many glove boxes, trunks, attics and other warmish places the thing's been stored in. Whatever, based on Tom's advice, I'll get the lens CLA'ed relatively soon. I just wanna run a few rolls through it first. In a month or two I'll bring it in. For $50 Cdn, I think it's a good investment. As you said, Tom, since it's not an auto aperture lens, I don't have to worry about a sticky aperture, or drops of oil flying off the blades when it snaps closed. But, just in case some oil vapourizes and starts to coat the lens, I'll have it taken care of soon enough. Right now, I'm just glad my baby's home. <vbg> Thanks everyone for advice. cheers, frank T Rittenhouse wrote: > No, I wasn't thinking that, I was thinking in terms of, "used camera, who > knows what has be done to it". > > Ciao, > Graywolf > http://pages.prodigy.net/graywolfphoto > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Alan Chan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 6:58 PM > Subject: Re: My Baby's Home and a Lens Question > > > >OR, some idiot accually thinking they needed lubing and spraying > something > > >in there. > > > > U don't mean Frank, do u? :-) -- "What a senseless waste of human life" -The Customer in Monty Python's Cheese Shop sketch
