I've seen your copy.....I have it on my Ebay watch list!
I have a signed copy of the book....it's awesome.
I'm sure many forum members will be looking with interest at the "performance" of your item on Ebay.
Good Luck, Pickles.

I still find that par-focal 18mm intriguing.

"The Last One"....You're a lucky man! That will make the sale of the Ebay item even more interesting.
But hey, thinking of it, I must be a "lucky man" too, because I've got the 17mm AND the book!
Cheers, Pickles.

the focal length is nice, the optical quality, is not so nice. fun though. I have been thinking of using it to shoot some video of Savannah with the k-7.

i know this is not completely right, but this book is in need of a good scanning. A good scan of the book might help reduce the crazy prices you find for it, and increase availabilty for everyone.

Scanning and selling a book witout permission is illegal and punishable!

I wonder if there are any plans for more of these to be printed? I would love to get one !!!

Well, you'd better get on to Ebay right now, because there's one on there that looks to be in good shape......you'll only get one chance!

The bidding pushed it over $200 while another copy went for under 5 pounds in a UK only sale.

I guess its is back to the > $400 Amazon days. I am glad I was able to get a signed copy from The Man.
