[LRflex] Re: 80-200 f/4 :-)

These don't show up too often, but Jack's Camera in Muncie, Indiana has one for 
 $ 1395. I don't even know if that's a "good" price, but if it's the same one I 
saw a while back, it's a beauty.
No connections, other than being a customer a time or two.
Just passing along info.

  Thanks to all who recommended this lens.  I just got my first roll (Kodak 
400UC) back from the lab; I can't show any pics yet 'cuz my web hosting service 
is down and besides the Frontier scans are nowhere near what I can get from the 
Polaroid.

  Here's what I like: 

  solid construction
  compact enough (w/ R4) to use as a go-everywhere camera
  It's well-balanced, especially with the STA-1 tripod collar
  no focus creep, no zoom creep.
  Parallel focussing mechanism so polarizing filters don't rotate as I focus
  mimimal linear distortion
  so far, no flare or bokeh problems

  Critical examination of the negs will have to wait until I can scan some.

  What I don't like:  I didn't have it 20 years ago.
