No, Reade's is another photo dealer in London. They have a web site but it does not look like it has been updated recently. > I >bought my Nikon 70-210 F2.8 from them.

I was in their storefront last spring (Forest City Image Centre) and asked if they'd discount the FA 50mm f1.7 they'd had in stock for awhile, and they offered me $5 off their $240 price. I went across the street to McKittrick's Cameras and picked up a used F 50mm 1.7 in excellent shape with an SF10 attached to it. After the $30 discount they offered me the set came to $75. -- Steve Sharpe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://earth.delith.com/photo_gallery.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
