If someone were to offer me the right price for my black 77 LTD plus B +W tele lens hood (oh, lessee: $590 plus $40 for the hood, well, i'd take $575 for the two most likely, but I have to think about it), I'd buy a DA70 Limited. The reason it is difficult to make decision to sell is that the 77 is such a very nice lens, but I would very much like to have the QuickShift focusing mount of the DA70 too. sigh.
