Thank's Moose for the thoughts. I'd be excited to turn up an a7, but
probably not going to happen. I saw that 5n on keh, I don't have
experience with keh though and hate the whole 'buy by mail and send it back
if it doesn't work' thing. But I guess maybe more reliable than an ebay
purchase? I'm keeping my eyes peeled here locally for the moment, slowly
counting my quarters.
PS, Pete - I enjoy 'the archbishop's regards'.
