Do you know about 'Shutterbug Ads'?  This is a monthly advertising paper
that has a few dealers of new equipment, lots of dealers of used
equipment, and lots of individual ads.  There is a wide selection of
subjects, including large format.  I've had very good luck buying
through their advertisers.  They use a rating system for used equipment
which is:
	new - new equipment
	mint - perfect but pre-owned
	excellent plus - similar to new (I bought an ex+ lens from one
		of their advertisers and it was indistinguishable from
		new except no box or warranty.)
	ex - mechanically perfect
	ex minus - mechanically perfect
	very good - in working order
	good - possibly broken, not attractive
	fair - worn or broken

I recommend that anyone considering buying anything photographic look at
an issue of this before spending bucks.  Address:

	Shutterbug Ads
	P.O. Box F
	Titusville, FL  32781

	$13, 1 year (12 issues), 3rd class mail, U.S. only
	$20, Foreign countries, surface

note:  no I don't own stock in their operation.
