I don't mind putting in more money, but I do think if we have to go that way everyone should end up paying the same for the lens. Now the situation is totally changed, all prebuy prices should be equalized. That means if you prebought at $995 and that is the final figure, you pay nothing. Conversely, if you prebought at $600 the payment would be higher. I am in at $850 BTW. The thinking being if cost is around $1000 and we have to put in enough money to get it up to cost, everyone should be paying cost. This is my opinion alone at this point. |
Originally posted by DanHouck OK, Mike, I need to make it clear I was thinking in terms of a situation which INCLUDED Cygnus. Obviously if we're in effect buying the lens again , my comments didn't apply. |

Originally posted by Dave T But, ... It is, isn't it. You are, in effect, talking about relieving Shawn of his debt. That's giving him the money, albeit indirectly. Sure, you can say that he now owes you the $300, but how are you going to legally enforce that? Seems like a pretty messy arrangement, if you ask me. |
Originally posted by JoeFloyd I don't think it wold be legal for MICHAEL TOOL & MFG to sell the lens directly. They don't own rights to the product. But, it's great to know that someone close to the situation and directly involved like Donald Michael thinks the situation will be resolved to everyone's satisfaction in the not to distant future. |
