Thanks guys. @Santinidollar not sure if I'm going to spend the $20.00 or so each on them on not. I'm not great at grading Buffalo's so I guess...

Just finished a rough 4 days of shooting a State High School Basketball Championship where I put in 51 hours of kneeling under a basketball hoop...
@C-B-D That is a gorgeous 81-S. Nice pick up.
