As much as I admire your patience to type that out glowing worm since you probably have a hard time getting around on the keyboard I am still uneasy, and although I often wanted a third arm on various occasions I feel as though radiation could cause cancer or something unpleasant more likely then a third arm.
Call me crazy but I always been told radiation is a bad thing :-/
The yellowing thing I read up about, doesn't seem to much like an issue since its remedied easily.

I would have said "Its not the camera that makes the photo great, its the photographer" and walked away.
I have gotten better shots with a point in shoot then some people I see carrying around a D700....
Speaking of this, I recently went to a Photoclub which was filled with about 30-40 old men/women and when I told them I was going from my Nikon D40 to a Pentax K-5 they said I was downgrading, now note that I am 22 years old and am not very biased when it comes to brands besides my dislike of most digital canon cameras(Not a fan of the feel of them mostly). They laughed about it and then started to argue about if Nikon or Canon was better. The meeting was a joke, basically it was an hour long power point presentation on how to use your camera right, funny cause half the examples shown were over or underexposed(one had a totally white blown out sky).
I was O_O the whole time, I did not attend the next meeting. It made me said, I was like...these are the people that share my passion? Also at the end of the presentation, they handed out little ribbon awards since they held a photo contest the week beforehand and the leaders of the meeting received most of the awards, it felt like an ego boosting party...Ridiculous.

Wow so I also scored a great lens, nice, guy said it was in perfect condition, nice, thanks a lot! I looked it up, its one of the Thorium lenses(Radioactive), always wondered about those, might bring it to my college and test it just out of curiosity. I am sure I can find a teacher that would also be interested haha.
