I am looking for one, if you want to get rid of such a lens, let me know.
This is an excellent lens, the only reason why someone would want to part from this is either a change of system or a lack of use.
But hey, you never know!

No need to post in code, if you want people to understand it that is. What on earth is [WTB] supposed to mean to the rest of us on this planet?

WTB = Want To Buy
WTT = Want To Trade
FS = For Sale

They are fairly common on camera forums with a classified section. Mind you Clarky's decode is quite apt!

Thanks for the education Kim, but I think I like Clarky's version more.

There are other camera forums?

What you show here is an outrageous agressivity and a total lack of education.
Now you live with that and you move from my thread if you have no serious input!
Do you have time to waste? I certainly don't!

Calm down, calm down!!

Mannesty's comment about "there are other forums" was definitely "tongue-in-cheek". (hence the smiley)

(Maybe the English humour doesn't travel well... )

I was refering to this.
And as far as English humour is concerned, well that's your opinion.

But in Mannest'y defence i did'nt know what WTB meant either

you guys def need to check other forums, sometimes
I mean Photo.net, Pentaxforum.com, Rangefinder.com...they all use these codes to sort posts out!

Oh well, the thing is, I still need this lens and it is out of stock in many stores,too expensive anyway, and rare to say the least used...

Substitute,
Posts like this are the reason I don't visit other forums.
There was no hint of aggression in my post, unlike yours.
I'm somewhat more educated now, thanks to Kim C. I note you haven't tried to explain your TLA (that's Three Letter Acronym).
Serious input? I have some, give up on your fruitless quest for a used one. There is not much chance of you finding the lens you are after second hand as it has only been available for a very short time. Anybody selling a used one could arguably justify asking more than the new price.
Finally, I have lots of time to waste, but no more here except to say:-

Chris at www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk has them in stock and if you're lucky, you might get free postage.

given the difficulty in actually getting hold of a new one, I'd say they'd almost certainly be able to charge a premium rate. As we all know, a used lens is worth precisely what you can get for it.
you don't have to be mad to post here



but it does help

exactly.
So I'll get a cheap 135mm f2.8, shoot great photos with it, sell some and get the money to buy a 50-135mm.
