[Konvas] Gear Available

[H. W. Stone]

 Panavision is rental-- and this only applies to used gear for sale.

What it boils down to is that they are in worse shape than the US economy, and trying to force the home market to use new gear made there is a priority.

The whole world is going bonkers.? I'm going to attach a capture from an email sent to me suggesting books to buy.

The clarity is amazing.

I think we are all doomed.
