It's very much in user condition: scuffs here and there, surface scratches on the lens, paint missing from lens, a little brassing of body etc etc. I don't know where i am in the lineage of owners, but this camera has been well used! I've had some problems getting the lens to couple with the finder in the last couple of days, suggesting it needs a retentioning of the meter's pin. The meter itself was fixed and cleaned up about a month ago, and has been working flawlessly otherwise. I just realised i'm making the camera sound awful, i think that might be indicative of my reluctance to part with it. Anyway, after having a trawl through some prices, i'm not really sure what i should be asking, so i'm going to say $230 U.S. + shipping. If there is a wave of silence, i'll get to keep it! I live in New Zealand, so if anyone finds it prohibitive to buy a camera from here--good. That also means i get to keep it. Does anyone see a pattern emerging here.... :-) All the best, and have a great weekend all, Gary - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I have had my own bloody relationship with Nixon for many years, but I am not worried about it landing me in hell with him. I have already been there with that bastard, and I am a better person for it. Nixon had the unique ability to make his enemies seem honorable, and we developed a keen sense of fraternity. Some of my best friends have hated Nixon all their lives. My mother hates Nixon, my son hates Nixon, I hate Nixon, and this hatred has brought us together. Nixon laughed when I told him this. "Don't worry," he said, "I, too, am a family man, and we feel the same way about you." OO [_]<| Hunter S.
