Lynx 14e arrived today

[gitarzan]

My Lynx14e showed up today. Nice shape. I needed to to remove the OGG*, but mechanicals seem to work. I may take it in for a CLA since the VF is slightly hazy. Ploblem is, I'm not too impressed with the repair shops around here. The shutter seems clean but the lens has a few small fibers/specks viewable at bulb on f1.4.

Here's a pic with it aside my Minister-D and Canonette G-iii 1.7.

You can really see the differences in lens size. Image was taken by my Sony digital DSC-85.

THEN... just after I came in, I fired up my PC, checked my email, and eBay search sent me a message that a 5000e just showed BIN for $20!!! Bang, I took it.

Stop! If you want outstanding work done, go to the G'Man. Send me a PM or an e-mail at tefphoto@earthlink.net and I'll send you his e-mail address. He's the best, quick, and so very reasonably priced!

And not supposed to be working on cameras right now, as I recall. Harumph.

Hey the eye patch adds to the devil may care looks. LOL
Eye is improving though.

I will poke your other eye out if you start working on cameras again before you're supposed to. What does the doctor say?

Best Regards,

Bill Mattocks

Well, I hope your eye gets better soon. And when it does, I will have a lynx or two for you to look at it with.

"And good looking and suave. LOL"

You're referring to your puppies...right?

Greyhoundman- perhaps you could strike a bold pose and insist we all call ye Capn'?

gitarzan- I think you have the Yn 151n strain of the GAS virus. The CDC will be at your door soon with the "Happy Net."
