RE: [APML] First Medium Format - TSP 2005

["Dave Dockery" <dave.dockery@comcast.net>]

Thanks Alan and Stuart for the feedback. A new imaging setup is exciting
stuff and it's great to hear that others like the results, too.

Alan, just to give you a data point on cost, I picked the body up on KEH in
Bargain condition for $285.00 and have had no problems with it.  The lens
was $275.00 in Excellent Plus condition and is pristine.  I picked the
Penta-prism up as part of an Astromart deal but they usually run in the
neighbor hood of a hundred bucks or so.  Be aware that the combo is HEAVY so
you'll want to use a tracking platform that can handle a lot more weight
than a 35mm rig.

All the best,
Dave
