Hi,

 I once had this lens and used it once or twice with great pleasure.  Some
of my son's best pictures were taken with this lens.  I have a couple of
them blown up to 20x30 which are very satisfactory.  I am looking for one
now.  Anybody have one for sale?  The one I had was 3 cam version.  As far
as I know, they were in 2 or 3 cam.

Regards,
David Lee
