Yep, this lens is still taking up floor space at my favourite camera shop. And I don't want to buy it (!). Anyone who's interested, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Feel free to mention my name (not compulsory but they'll know I've done them a favour in return for all those they've done for me). The lens comes with a very nice Asahi wooden tripod, and an aluminium trunk case. I think there's also a carry case/bag for the tripod as well. Its quoted as condition 8/10, which they define as: "Excellent+ 90-99% original finish. Very little use. Optics perfect. Mechanics perfect." Price is NZ$4450, which is approximately US$1800 plus shipping. They'll take credit card. Cheers, - Dave David A. Mann, B.E.
