For shame, Mark. It the oil from fingerprints would permanently smudge it! To keep it really, really mint you have to keep it in box ~always~. That way you can sell it on eBay for top dollar. To play it safe, buy two, one for showing off (to be taken from the air-tight showcase only rarely, and then only by the owner wearing cotton gloves), and one kept completely sealed in it's original box. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- 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.
