I've been both a sucker for looks, and patient enough to get a good deal.
Got a chrome 1n about eight months ago that literally looks and feels brand
new... paid dearly for it (spur of the moment. lust, no self control, you
know) to the tune of $329 with a decent 50/1.4 on it. Then, just about a
month ago, I snagged a very nice black 1n from the dread Evilbay with a
generic (sigma?) 35-70 zoom on it for $188. The black 1n is a little dirty
(more from neglect, I think), but it's functionally perfect, and the foam
appears to be OK.
