I was in error. The camera he "acquired" from my wife is her Nikon

Check with him and see if he's interested in this:

Mine has been used very little, and I'd part with it for $1000.

He has one. I originally bought it for Mrs. E. for Christmas or

something when she had the camera. I remember I had to order it and

it took about 3 or 4 months for the camera shop to get one.



He's actually looking for something even bigger or whatever having

more telescopic power is called. I don't know much about

photography.


I suppose something like this will be on his Christmas list this year...

The problem gets to be 'weight'. The one I've got saw very little use simply because it's heavy and
bulky. That one is much worse. Would probably be great for a sporting event, where a tri- or monopod
can be used. But, traipsing through the woods with it would be a bear - even for a bear.
