Excellent quality. Just remember to add 1 extra stop in compensation for the extension. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2002 13:36:18 +0100 From: "Q.G. de Bakker" To: Subject: Re: [HUG] Portrait technique question Message-ID: <001301c192c0$ea62bc80$c0d5f1c3@qnu350> BLADHASS@aol.com wrote: >> What about renting a 180mm or 120mm at Glazers, Optechs.

Does anyone have a user mid-length extension tube in a box, user- is okay as long as it works, that they would be interested in selling to a poor (can you be poor and own a Hasselblad?) boy in Seattle?

I, for one, would prefer to buy a lens from a reputable dealer that guarantees their stuff. Many reputable dealers sell on eBay. I'd also be more prone to buy from someone with a flawless track record as opposed to someone who is selling for the first time. I suspect there are many on this list that will relay their eBay experiences you can use as reference. Peter >> When the AOL Photography Forum had a buy-sell board, I purchased practically my entire 500CM outfit from advertisers on it, and got only had one item that had to be checked by a Blad technician. Apparently eBay does not enjoy anywhere near the same reputation. Unfortunately, AOL, in its infinite wisdom, chose to do away with the photo buy-sell board.
