Ironic isn't it? You have to have customers that want to buy lenses to make and sell lenses. The more lenses you make the cheaper you can sell them. You have to have lenses in stock, so that customers will buy lenses. Tom c. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
