    Re: Pick 5 of These Classic Lenses

    Does anybody have one of the "primo" lenses listed above for sale?

    I am looking for a mint/exc+ type lens (210-300mm) with shutter to cover 5x7.

    Thanks!

    So how long do we get to try out all those lenses before we send ten of them back to you?
