Just as I'm de-accessioning stuff, I was offered a gorgeous Rolleiflex 2.8F outfit (with, as a friend puts it, "all the trash") this afternoon for a bargain (really rock bottom) price. Had my soon-to-be husband not been with me, the temptation would have become an acquisition, thus grounds for divorce. Many thanks, too, to everyone on the LUG who sent their best wishes. While I didn't sell any of the stuff here, it meant even more to me to see all the affection and support.

Cameras and Lenses for Sale I have a wife - and over sixty cameras. Much as tho' I'd like to take that Canon V off your hands, I wouldn't have a wife afterwards. My collection of cameras and my wife appear to be mutually incompatible, so your trousseau won't be augmented by euros from Ireland. That said I hope the day goes well!!
