Jan, sorry to hear about the hard times. That's a great collection,
hopefully you get top dollar for everything (especially the 350/2.8).
Wish I had the money for the 16/3.5 fisheye, that's a fun lens! I had
one with some haze on the back element, sold it because I figured it
would be more trouble and expense to repair than it was worth. That
28/2 is a real beauty too. Good luck with the sale(s).
