Bill, I just phoned the number and it was answered by a very old sounding man who said it was his son selling the lens ( he also has a K1000 listed in the Trading Post for $235.00!), and that he would get him to ring me back. He didn't speak English very well though, so I won't hold my breath as I am not sure how well he took down my number. Will let you know what I "find out"...
