Hmmm. When I was looking for a good OM2n a couple of years ago, some
of the worst examples I saw were being offered by Jessops. I examined
three in their Manchester branch: only one had all its bottom plate
caps and looked tidy but its manual shutter speeds were all over the
place. I pointed this out to the assistant and left. He simply
returned it to the window display. Some of the nicest S/H stuff I've
seen (and bought) was from the Crewe Camera Exchange group - sadly now
owned by Jessops.

I hear good things about these people, though I wish we had a Camtech
on these shores! Does John accept equipment from over here?
BTW Chris, your time stamp (+0100) suggests your PC might think it's
still British Summer Time. Wishful thinking? :-)
