Heres what I know about Doug from Cameraland. I called over a year ago to inquire about digital cameras. Was put on perma-hold till I finally gave up and went elsewhere. I thought nothing of it because I have that kind of luck�I once bought a can of pork and beans �..guess what? No beans in it�seriously.
Anyway I mentioned both incidents on a thread and before you know it I got a nice PM from Doug apologizing, even though I assured him repeatedly that it was just my luck�
Bottom line, when it was time to buy a new LRF, guess who I called and got excellent service ( and price) from�.
