I think it was the entire starting lineup exclusive of one man, that
threw the world series, thus becoming the Chicago "Black Socks", or
maybe "Sox", can't remember, no one seems to remember the name of the
guy not implicated, but everyone remembers "Shoeless" Joe Jackson.

Oh, dear! Say it ain't so. :-) Cheers, Christine
P.S. I should probably explain: When Michael Jordon retired from the Chicago Bulls
basketball team, a Chicago newspaper ran this headline: "Say it ain't so,
Michael." So I'm referencing that headline. Everyone in the city was so sad our
shinning star was leaving our shinning team.
Cheers, Christine

Hi all
The last straw has been that my DA* 16-50 has stopped auto-focussing
again. The internal motor was replaced a couple of years ago (so out
of warranty) and now it looks like there's another couple of hundred
quid to be spent on it. And yes, I've cleaned all of the contacts and
yes, my DA* 50-135 works OK on my only remaining K-7 body.
So the decision's nearly made to sell off the K-7, DA* 16-50 (either
repaired or as is), DA* 50-135, a lovely F*300 4.5 (the one with the
tripod mount), an FA-135 2.8 (probably my favourite lens ever) and an
FA-50 1.7. I'll put the proceeds towards a backup Fuji X body and get
the excellent 55 - 200 zoom to cover the long end of the range and to
sit alongside my growing collection of Fuji X primes. I'll keep a
number of MF lenses so may still be able to appear in the PDML
annual...
Any guidance on how to price? Or if anyone's interested in making me
any sensible offers, contact me off list and I'll get more details and
photos arranged and we can sort out logistics.
Yours sadly, Chris
