Great job, Steven. Do you own a camera store? :>)
BTW, I too have found Paul's page to be extremely helpful in many ways.
I'd hate to see ANY present information displaced, but the aperture
blade info would be a nice to have too. I've used his price range as a
guide in the past. It's very helpful if you know it's just a guide and
you understand what it's based on.
