Muhammad, have you gotten any photos back from the SL and 60 Macro? My guess is you haven't because you're looking for one at a reasonable price. Once you see what the SL & 60 can do you won't care what the cost is! Yes it's built like a tank and 100 years is a conservative estimate, and neither mine nor my daughter's is for sale.
