Andy - Thank you for your reply. I suppose I could get by without one but I saw a used one on Adorama rated E+, so that is what re-sparked my interest. I thought about it on and off throughout the day, remember how many times it could have come in handy this past summer. Then I read your reply and ended up purchasing it alittle while ago. It's my first time buying a used item off one of the sites, so we'll see how it works out for me.Helen @ Adorama claims it goes thru more inspection than buying new, so we'll see!


Rick - Don't you know by now ...the "might need this" list never ends! I'll let you know what I think of it when I've had a chance to use it awhile!


Thanks,


Denise
