If we lived close enough together and could create a club that was enforceable by contract we could do it. The multi-national nature of the forums here makes it tough. Even if a member was from Louisiana, it would be tough since they still follow a Napoleonic based system of State Laws, not ones derived from English common law.

If only I didn't need my kidneys so badly...

I was actually thinking the same thing! I know someone in need of a kidney but he is the wrong blood type! (And a cheapskate besides but that is beside the point.)

Ron, If it wasn't for all that bureaucracy, and the greedy grubby hands of the Customs folks, I'd be all over this one.

Good Luck with your sale.

Chris.

Sweet Baby Corn! Wowsers Ron! If I had the credit available I would buy it just to shoot it for a month or twenty. My jaw dropped open at the image of the fly. What camera was that with?

Shot with a K5 set on JPEG which means very little post processing. I've never made a RAW image...and have had perhaps 800 images sold/published (in print media--I don't count web stuff). I choose old-school instead...every image shot from a tripod at the lowest ISO setting the camera can produce and I bracket white balance when it's tricky. Usually use mirror lock up and 2 sec. delay to take my vibes out of it. I never shoot mid-day or in full sun. I play it as if shooting picky slide film and throw away anything that isn't nearly perfect as shot. I don't "rescue" missed images. A miss is a miss for me. Of course, I understand virtually nobody on a photo forum does it my way, but I don't mind that.

Ron, what are you doing? You can't part with this lens. It's like encountering a unicorn in a desert.

**Weevil** · 06-07-2018, 05:55 AM

Humm... nice piece Ron!

A bump for a lens I'll never be able to own, and a bump for one of the nicest guys you could ever buy from!

My raffle ticket due on 18th, most probably I am going to own it!!!

No one has offered to buy a kidney yet Ron. And I did not hit Powerball, (yet again.
