For what you paid you stole the lens straight up. Knock at your door? It's the RCMP come to take you away!
I'd keep the camera body, too. No question.
Canada is on a win streak these days. You're just another example.
Congrats!!

Prob'ly should add just one thought. For a camera body that nice I'd invest in a body cover for it if you plan to use the lens elsewhere. I have body covers for all my Konica camera bodies (bunch of 'em).
I buy Nikon body covers because they are inexpensive, then modify them to fit onto and protect my Konica camera bodies. You can buy the actual Konica AR body covers, but they cost circa six time as much as the Nikon covers. |

Hi Guardian,thanks for comments.I also have 2 57mm f1.4 and Vivitar 135mm f2.5 (Tokina I think) plus 400mm f4.5. I have also accumulated over 100 camera cases over the years all in a big plastic garbage bag,never use case when out shooting but am also careful with my equipment so as not to damage in any way.Regards. |

Lens is well known stunning lens , value around 200 USD , at least I do remember for that, sharp even at wide open ,typical little cold colors what is works superb to some people, to me didn't I sold it, but if I can buy it again I will do , rare lens. Camera is good camera, a bit heavy. _________________ -------------------------------

FC1 perhaps most trustworthy and convince Konica SLR and light weight you will love it I am pretty sure, look forward your shoots. I think I have all Konica SLR except most expensive one Konica F and FC-1 is one of my top favorite. _________________ -------------------------------
