Moose, didn't you just go from telling Albert to "get a back-up
camera body" to telling him that he need 12 (I think that would be
the combinatorics of what you outlined...) different bodies *AND* to
carry them all around at all times? :)
Of course, Schnozz would say he'd need 24 to have a complete setup
(a 35/2.8 and 100/2.8 on a body for each film-type), right?
Somehow, I think that that 50/2 would be cheaper after all....;)
Seriously, Albert, if it is important enough to you, I am sure that
it should be possible to have a screen FedEx'ed to you. Would be
possible, though probably quite costly. Aren't there any listees
based in an asian country where screens are in abundance (I assume
that FedEx/DHL/UPS'ing from there would be more reasonable than from
EU)
