Re: 50/1.2 in Trading Post
William, I guess you'll need to enter via their home page www.tradingpost.com.au and run a search. See my first post for help in finding the location and category. I sent this message days ago, and only just saw your reply, I wonder if my message was delayed getting to you, or your reply got delayed getting to me? regards, Anthony Farr - Original Message - From: William R. [EMAIL PROTECTED] That is a great price! I`m so tempted in buying another one especially for that price too bad I don`t like to buy things without seeing it in person. I`ve had a bad experience buying at ebay once so I`m wary of auctions and such. I may change my mind later though there are some good deals on ebay. Anthony that link you gave us doesn`t seem to be working. William R.
Re: 50/1.2 in Trading Post
Thanks Tan for your troubles. I generally don`t like buying unseen and I was making a note on the price of this lens.

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... tan. - Original Message - From: William R.

Hi Anthony Thanks for the thumbs up. I`m new to this message board but it seems every so often a message is lost for a few days or it takes a while before it shows up on this board. William R.
