Hi all,

Ok, I just have to commiserate with someone, since my wife is getting 
tired of hearing me groan about it :)  Here's the story:  We are in the 
process of moving to Santa Fe, NM, and we are currently living in a hotel 
room while we wait for our place to be ready to move in.  Of course as 
part of exploring this new town, I had to find the camera stores with 
used Oly equipment.  I went to one yesterday, and saw that they had a 
nice collection of stuff, including a 28/2, 85/2, 80/4 macro, and a few 
others.  The prices were a bit on the high side.  I got to talking with 
one of the salespersons, who sounded like an OM fan, and had a friend who 
has two 24 shifts (one with color filters, and one with B&W)!  Anyhoo, I 
learned that they had a 350/2.8 with a 1.4XA converter and the aluminum 
case, but had sold it the day before.  Although I didn't really want to, 
I asked how much it sold for.  $1300.  I was really bummed!  The plastic 
didn't really need such a workout, but I don't think I could have 
resisted!  I don't know if I could or would have kept it, but it sure 
would have been fun to play with.  Anyway, if a list member bought it, 
congrats on a GREAT deal!

Thanks for sharing my pain :)
