Well, I may add a note of a recent experience... I noticed a listing for a
deep rear cap for the 80/4 macro lens... with a BIN of ~$14. Hmm, I could
use this and the price is low enough to just snap it up... but I wonder what
John H sells it for. Well, a quick nip over to www.zuiko.com shows that he's
got it for $12, Buy It Anytime... Same deal on the recent auction of a
tripod collar... the auction settled somewhat higher than the John H.
regular price. So, the lesson I guess is know your targets before you bid it
up... BTW John, if you want to send me something for this free advertising
either item would do nicely <g>.
