Not a willing sale, but necessary to help offset the growing dSLR costs (paying for my new sigma 105mm f2.8 macro) :(
This is my Ebay listing for my Nikon F70D panorama SLR (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300062412367).

The Heretical Imperative
By Walter Lee walt@crcom.net
"Give me but one firm spot on which to stand, and I will move the earth." Archemedes, The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, Second Edition, Oxford University Press, London, 1953, p. 14.
One of the great innovative thinkers of Western civilization and a forerunner of what would become the scientific method, Archemedes (287-212 B.C.E.) is a recognized pioneer in the physics of mechanics (and other scientific fields). His discourses include works on the lever, the inclined plane and the screw. The quote cited above comes from his work on levers and fulcrums. The point made is that with the right tools, great things can be achieved. However, he recognized that there was a hitch. In order to use a lever and a fulcrum, one requirement, often unnoticed, was a foundation for the fulcrum and a place for the actor to stand.
