Kevin,
I'm sorry... should have kept my mouth shut but I WAS just trying to help appraise the
value of a wonderful piece of gear. I do own one and stated in my last post that while I
think 3K is a fair used price(and in line with the guys' intentions that made 'em and offered
them for $1400 a pop in the late 90's) they are worth OVER 5k in comparable Serge gear
(if you say $7600... then sorry! wow! I haven't done the math in a while) . But I also bought
2 used panels of Serge for 4k last year.... so, like you said... to each his own (for what its
worth. I'd take the Fenix filters over my 3 VCFQ's!).
Anyhow.. I appologize to you and to this list for my earlier evaluation (I hit send at the
same time you did ((ok.. you beat me by a second)).
And, for what its worth.... I'm pretty sure that Bert and Paap still uphold their warrenty and
will happily assist you with any issues you may encounter with your Fenix. Its all such
good stuff... its "priceless".
to each his own.
