I have about a dozen cameras. To select my camera for the day, I ask
myself one critical question: Which of my two *istDs has more battery
life remaining? That becomes my camera for the day. The rest remain on
the shelf.

Hi Frank
How do you decide if you use your Leica, the Pentax LX or the Pentax
Spotmatic? That's the ones I saw mentioned with your PESO, I'm quite
sure
you got even more cameras?
I found out, that being in sentimental mood I use the older cameras
like the
ME Super and now the Spotmatic F a lot more.
The some weeks ago purchased Spotmatic F also got a lot of use lately
because of the 85mm SMC Takumar 1.8 and I just love the built quality
and
handling.
greetings
Markus

rating's, looks like winning the auction doesn't necessarily means
that you're getting the item as described; also eBay "snipers" maybe
waiting to bid on the final seconds...
PS: Looking for a backup body?
Not so much a backup body as a nice old M3 user. My CL is about
ready
for a CLA, and the focus patch is a little bit misaligned vertically
(I know how to align it horizontally, but not vertically), but I
don't
want to be without an RF if I can help it.
Yeah, I noticed those "mutually withdrawn" feedbacks too, but I
wouldn't think those would be enough to keep the price that low.
I may bid, I don't know. I'm one of those who thinks that if
something's too good to be true, it usually is. My guess is that the
one bidder has such a high proxy that I won't want to outbid him
anyway, but maybe driving his price up ain't a bad thing. Who knows,
I could get lucky. <g>
cheers,
frank
