Tan, Kennedys are special, for instance the LX was reported by them to be unavailable many years before it was actually officially discontinued on the world market. Try finding LTD lenses in Oz too. MZ-S are still available from MAP Camera (Japan) in black and silver: http://www.mapcamera.com/shopping/searchresult.php?keyword=mz-s Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
