Add the 35/shift to it too. Also, to add insult to injury, this person(s)
only did a run of each type of lens about once every year or two and the
stock was always depleated immediately. If you missed out on a run, you
would have had to wait up to two years to get your lens.
Similar to the OM-3T. Has anybody ever just seen one waiting on the shelf
for somebody to come along and buy it? Most dealers can't even get them,
much less stock them. Paul? What is your backlog?
