That is so close to the truth it's not funny, only I hide my 50mm f1.8's
under the couch in the lounge room giving me quick access to them when I

Anyway, I was in town today to make the final payment on a T32 on hold
since last year. While doing the rounds of the local camera stores, I
spotted a Pen-EES for $69 which at current exchange rates makes that
$45US, body only, looks quite good externally, I did not handle it, 30
day warranty. It reminded me of the song about that doggy in the window
- cute and yet kinda sad. Its not something I could use but if anyone
is interested here are the contact details.
