I'm planning to buy this lens, but just dont know where I can get it right.

I've looked for Discount Photographics, sent them an email over the weekend, but no reply yet...

Be patience, sometime they are busy or doesn't have or could not find one for you, or your email was shifted into their trash box coz it was detected as spam.

Kellogs, it's a shame it's not the newer 2-ring version, otherwise I would have snapped it up ;)

Which version, there are about 6 different ones! One touches go for $500-700, two touch slightly more. A one-touch version in average condition went for 300-and something the other day on eBay though, becauase it was listed in the wrong section...

Not ANOTHER diamond ring?!?!? Gee, this photography bizzo really costs a lot of money doesn't it? :shock: :wink:

Funny thing actually, on Kellogs' original For Sale thread, I actually posted a comment along the lines of "Can't, will be bashed by spouse". :)

Kellogs, if the OP doesn't want your 80-200, and if no one else pops their hand up, I might have to talk to you about it........
