I checked the photo trader, and I always monitor the local newspaper
and trading-post.

>From last Thursday's "Personal Trading Post", I bought a Durst 609
(6x6) with a 105mm lens.  It's a relic from the dawn of time
(manufactured 1957-1975) but in good nick, and cost $95.

It's got a 105mm Durst Neotar lens, which is rather long for 35mm
(even for 6x6).  If I wind all the way to the top of the (enormous)
column, I can only enlarge a 35mm frame to 20x15cm (about 8x6 inch).

So I'm on the lookout for a 50mm lens.

Thanks,
        Chris.
