Yes, they have a nice deal on a 28mm f2.8. Only $499.95. The 200mm f4 also
is a steal at $700. That's used equipment?

|
| It appears that he is referring to direct sales to consumers over the
| internet vs. sales through traditional retailers. If you go to the
| olympus america web site, you can buy refurbished equipement but not
| new stuff. I think he is saying that manufacturers could cut out the
| middle men and make more money selling directly to consumers via thier
| web sites.
|
| Be seeing you.
