Great buy, Bob. I've frequently been tempted on the 165/2.8, although I have the 165/4 LS. The 165 is some pretty fast glass for MF at that focal length. I would have gone for it at that price as well. Too good a deal to pass up.

I just HAD to get another lens!

165/2.8 for the 67 off ebay for US$247.52. I'm feeling so thrilled and ashamed at the same time!

I said to myself, "You already have a 165/4 with a leaf shutter!"
"But I need the speed and narrower DOF!"

"But The narrower DOF will help with the portraits of pretty girls!"
"Pretty girls will only get within 500mm range of you!"
"But the price is sooo good!"
"But you already owe your soul to Visa!"
"Damn it! I'm buying it!"
"You'll be sorry!"
"I don't care!"

Click!

That was the sound of the bid confirmation button being pushed, and it was all over.

I'm powerless over this addiction.

I need help!

This medium format thing is going to be my financial undoing! The obsession has now taken full control of my mind and the compulsion that follows has now led me to buy a 645 with 75mm lens and extra 220 film carriers, another 67 lens, a converter so that I can use the 67 lenses on the 645, a couple of straps, another slave flash and another Pelican case. Today I went out and burned up three rolls of 220 on crap!

But damn it was FUN!

OOOWAAHAHAHAAAR!

Maybe there's a 12 step group for this...

Regards,
Bob...
