I posted a topic on the Photography/Video forum about a month ago. I have a fairly large collection of older 35mm cameras that I have aquired over the years, and needed a short zoom in a Pentax K-mount. Russ Hicks responded and said he had a lens that he was not using anymore and offered it to me. I was willing to trade him a lens or complete camera, but he said no. I offered to pay the shipping, he even refused that offer. I received that lens today in the mail. This lens looks like brand new, even had a UV filter on it! I just wanted to thank Russ and all of the other fellas who give stuff away on this website. Your kindness is appreciated by me and many others as well. I am proud to be a member of the Trad Gang. Does anyone have a need for a good old manuel focus SLR? Let me know, I am willing to do a camera giveaway if so.
