What a item, Dan! It would be worth buying this simply because of its great condition and for the original and complete packaging!

Dan Dan Dan!!!.... I should have waited for your listing for the rewinds. I have a pair coming to me out of Canada. But, at least, FINALLY I have secured a pair! I'm sure everyone's mouth is watering over that 1.0, those who don't have one.

Thanks, Gian and Greg! I love these 1.0 Elmo lens. I could tell a marked difference when I bought mine from Rik K. The little Munckins are much brighter now. [Eek!]

The 1.0 makes for a beautiful picture! Somebody buy that thang!

I must admit I'd buy it for its complete packaging, Dan. But I already have two [Roll Eyes]

I think you will find Gian, that most "normal" collectors have two...... [Big Grin]

Posted by Gian Luca Mario Loncrini (Member # 1417) on January 21, 2010, 06:05 AM:

Yeah Keith, that's the reason why I would avoid to buy the third one (even if I am so attempted...). I would have to change my status quo ante from 'normal' to 'very normal' [Big Grin]

Posted by Greg Marshall (Member # 1268) on January 22, 2010, 06:43 PM:

Gian, I'll buy it, and trade it for your print of ET!!! [Razz]

Posted by Gian Luca Mario Loncrini (Member # 1417) on January 22, 2010, 06:45 PM:

There's just a very insignificant detail: I only have one copy of E.T... [Wink]

Posted by Greg Marshall (Member # 1268) on January 22, 2010, 06:55 PM:

But... I have 0 copies of ET. And I've heard that the man with the most 1.0 lenses rules!

Posted by Gian Luca Mario Loncrini (Member # 1417) on January 22, 2010, 06:57 PM:

AH AH AH AH AH!
Considering the time it took to find that print, I think we should agree the following way:

1 E.T. print for 3 Elmo 1,0.
What do you think? [Big Grin]

All kidding aside, why don't you take into consideration CHC for this title? I know German Labs still print it. Even if (as I probably already stated) I'd suggest you to contact Mr. Faulkner to have his opinion (he has had both German and American editions and I'm quite sure he was not very happy with the first one).

How about cash???? [Big Grin]

Seriously, if you ever think about parting with it, let me know.

Posted by Gian Luca Mario Loncrini (Member # 1417) on January 22, 2010, 07:02 PM:

Let me check if anybody else had already asked about this before you...
Give me just a little while... Just kidding, now. Well, who knows?
Ciao.
