Chris, the 2S for $400 cdn ($266) is a little higher than you should shoot
for (200-225 US).
The 4T for $550 cdn (366) is very good and you should go buy it (assuming it
is in pretty good condition)
The 50 for $30 cdn (20) is good, not great. There are SO many versions of
the 50. If it says "made in Japan" in the filter ring, it's the latest and
greatest. If it says MC, it is one generation behind and still good.
Otherwise,I lose track.
As for the colors, I can never keep that straight <g>.
Have fun.
Tom
