Someone tried e- mailing something to me on Monday but it failed to send. Tom I dont know if it was you or not but sometimes I have troubles sending pics unless I downsize them.

Funny thing as I looked at the alps pmk,s again today instead of going down in price the smaller the size the opposite is true. As the size 3 costs more the size 4 which then costs more than the size 5.

Has anyone tried the Fuji mk's and I'm also thinking about the minima's. And what is the deal with those, I can get a size 3 for .69 or $4.59 with many versions in between.

The Minima 4 F guides are nice light guides. Since they do not have a ceramic insert the ID of the ring is larger than the same size ceramic guide. The Minima guides also have a larger foot than most other micro guides making wrapping a little easier.

The pricce on the Minimas depends on the materials, whether they are single, or double swagged and finishes, also some Minimas have ceramic rings in them.

I do want the lightest

Would still like to see some pics of the different 3 or 3.5 sized micros side by side that you guys have. If you click on my name you can e-mail me. Thanx
