Okay, this has been bugging me for some time and now. I'm really steamed.
I don't know why I'm more steamed now. Maybe it's because I'm at my
computer with time to be steamed.
Anyway, when I see cameras listed on Ebay that are body only and in
another listing is the lens from the same seller, listed coicidentally,
that I suspect was separated from the listed body, it just pisses me off beyond all
measure.

Can anyone give me a reason why this is an ethical practice? I try to be
reasonable, but I was stung by this scheme with my first Spotmatic - never again.
No lens, no sale, no way. That bloody body came with a lens. If the lens
isn't included, I want to see the lens with a bullet hole in the center of
it. Then, I'll understand. Otherwise, it just seems like a creepy, underhanded practice
of double dipping just because parts are separable. Some day I expect to see a listing for a body only, no knobs or levers, and find these parts available under separate auction listings.
Anyway, I just wanted to get that off my chest. I'm done now - feel much
better. Am I alone in my opinion?
thanks gang,
Michael
