Spend more?
It's not an auction site. I don't post eBay stuff here.
Why would someone spend more for it?

Got some great shots with this set-up down in San Diego, CA recently while
visiting relatives. The combination of the 85mm and the new brighter LX
screens is simply
The PH-SA is indeed longer at 2 3/8 tall.
Spitfires, eh? That would be great fun. I love military aircraft. I'm very
partial to the P-51 Mustang and the P-38 Lightning. I grew up only a stone's
throw from Miramar Naval Air Station (Top Gun, Fightertown USA) and used to
watch the A-4's, F-4's,
sounds like tri-x country to me...

I have cleaned the underside of the viewfinder glass by taking a q-tip and wrapping
the tip in my lens cleaning cloth (the pseduo-polyester type). I daub on a bit of
cleaning fluid, or as Peter suggests, alcohol and very gently wipe the smudge. I

The NFL films guys use Arriflex SR2 and SR3 motion picture cameras. The lens hoods

Thanks for the kudos...
