Subject: Re: [OM] Re: Status of the EOS 1n from Camera World of Oregon
If I told you why I was selling it , you probably would not beleive it. I
have two of them. Why? I don't know , I just love the glass. I have
bought some new photo equipment recently and the wife is not to happy , if
you know what I mean..
As far as offering it on this home page , I didn't know if it was
appropriate. If I didn't say anything , then I would feel bad for not
saying so. I had luck on ebay , and ebay has a protocol set up for that.
Certainly if someone wanted it bad enough off this page I would end the
auction for them.
I also want to pick an auto-focus lens to try it out.
I shot with the 350.
The adapter was picked up for me by a really nice person who purchased it in
Japan.
Thanks Sam ..
