Creeping senility - he's forgotten his account name and/or password again, and just changed ISPs so he can't get the password reset mailed to him. That's what he's done in the past.

He's here in my house. I'm giving him photo lessons. Then we're going up to Ronald's house to buy a 24-70 from him.

Sadly, I hope you are right, Mark.

Now, now....be respectful. We will probably end up just like that.:rolleyes:
Hopefully we will still have a great sense of humor to go along with it.

I wondered about him yesterday. He hadn't said in any of the other threads if he was doing anything. He's disappeared before and he sneaks up on us when we're least expecting it.

I never sell anything without making a decent buck off it, don't you worry. ;-)a

I went from an XT with a 28-135IS and a 50 1.4 to what you see here, without spending a penny. Weird, eh? :lol:

I'd say, get the 24-70 new. Isn't there a rebate on it? But a good used one is really a hunt for Ronald, I am guessing. He occupies his time doing that.

Oh shush. I haven't looked for one in months. I will let you in on something, though. Except for the two I bought new, I've never paid even $900 for one. I wait out the deals. ;-)a None of mine have ever had a mark on them, either. All perfect in every way.

Ron you have baught brand new before so if you can buy new and sell for a marked up price you should be in sales for sure. ;)
