Mike (& other interested parties),
Well, I guess I'm lucky to have gotten one. I e-mailed the store last night
inquiring about lenses they might have available. I was waiting to hear back
on that before answering inquiries as to the store name, etc. In light of your
info, I bet I don't hear anything or get told that it's all spoken for. Rats.
If I hear otherwise, I'll pass that on to the group. Of course if Tom Scales
would like to top Adorama's offer, I would pass the name & number on to him.
Wouldn't even charge a finder's fee. ;-)
