Fred - I'd rather see it go to someone here -- I'm hoping for more than $100 cause I'm really poor. I really don't think of it as a real auction - just a note that if someone wan'ts it and is dragging his heels and has more than that I'd love it, and I'm not going to do another note to the whole list on this.. I wanted to announce it to be fair and open to the guy who has offered me $100, too. Many others have mentioned things for sale with the line blah blah or best offer.... Someone told me he thought I should get more than $100 for it, it is just the least I'd take. But even if you are being a crumudgeon, thanks for the added info, below. I used mine with a 100 f 4 macro and a 50mm f 4 macro, both of which have 49mm threads (they are about 20 years old) annsan > As for the AF080C, it'd be a good unit for someone, to be sure.
