Thanks to everyone for the ebay info. It was very helpful. By the way, I work a few blocks away from the biggest camera store here in Edmonton, and I often walk over on lunch breaks. I had been wanting to try some medium format but the price scares me, anyway a guy working at the store had an old mamiya c33 twin lens reflex which seems to be in pretty good shape and he sold it to me for $150 Canadian. Pretty good deal I think. Too bad winter is starting (Edmonton usual gets pretty brutal winters and they usually start around this time) Greg Cooper
