I definitely agree Piers, I've bought quite a bit of gear from KEH over the
years, equipment always looks better than the grading would suggest and
prices are lower than in Oz. Not so good for small items where the
international shipping becomes a significant component of the overall price.

I suspect many here would join me in expressing complete satisfaction in
their dealings with KEH, from very conservative condition grading through to
delivery - in my case over the ocean. More reliable than an eBay purchase?
Sorry, Nick, I can't take that proposition seriously!

Thank's Moose for the thoughts. I'd be excited to turn up an a7, but
probably not going to happen. I saw that 5n on keh, I don't have experience
with keh though and hate the whole 'buy by mail and send it back if it
doesn't work' thing. But I guess maybe more reliable than an ebay purchase?
I'm keeping my eyes peeled here locally for the moment, slowly counting my
quarters.
PS, Pete - I enjoy 'the archbishop's regards'.
