That policy has been that way for some time. You are right on the 4 vs. 4T,
I forgot. That MD1 has been there for a long time. Sales staff has been
great to me over the years. Got alot from them.
One sales person said that the owners were musing about getting rid of the
used business.

Subject: RE: [OM] Wicked weekend deals...
The Focus Center was one of the places I visited on my quest for the BG2 & I
saw the 2 cameras you're talking about. Both looked mint (absolutely
perfect...), both were black bodies, but they were NOT 4T's, they were only
4's... and I think they wanted too much for them when used 4T's are selling
at about that price elsewhere in Ontario. However, they were 200ff (and
will be until next weekend), so maybe they were not that bad a buy after all
(about 400CDN even, or ~240USD). There was also a MD1 for under $100 CDN...
no control pack or charger though... :( Oddly enough... the sales people
there told me that although they do accept trades, they will only take them
for credit against new digital or autofocus SLR's. they will not take
trades for other used equipment or medium format gear. Odd policy, I
thought.
