If the brand is Konica Minolta it must be more than a year or two old? I thought they were bought by another company (Sony?) some years ago...

3 years ago on Craigslist in NYC, I got a Summicron 35/2 version 1, 8 elements, with goggles, in truly mint condition in original box, for....$200. I asked the seller if he was sure about the price....

A feisty thread indeed.
I'm enjoying the action from back here in the cheap seats.

I tried Blurb about two years ago, and personally, I found the quality of printing inadequate for photos. It wasn't awful, but I don't think many people would mistake the book for something from a...
