Yes, that is what makes it such a bargain. Truly a great buy at the DA L price.

Nice find.

I don't have the money, but perhaps I cannot afford to not buy it... I should be able to make at least €100 selling it in Denmark :-)

I bought it and I think the same as you. It will be no problem to sell it and make a profit if I decide not to keep it. The price to Sweden was 610 GBP and not 584 GBP as VAT in Sweden is 25%. You have the same VAT in Denmark so you'll also would have to pay 610 GBP but that's still is cheaper than the price for a used DA*300 in Sweden

Are you siamthai from Tradera? I think that I've bought something for you quite a while ago. So at least two Swedes bought one.

Yeah, that's me. It's been a crazy month, the last four weeks I've bought a used DA*55 a used DA*16-50mm and now a DA*300mm. Is this a sign of serious LBA

Maybe not, I tell myself I've bought them because of the terrible weather we have had in Sweden this year. Rain sneaking up on you nearly every day can be very frustrating but if all camera equipment is WR it's no problem with rain any more.

Yay!

You are going to love that glass.

I'm trying to tell me that I will hate it and sell it for a profit but we all know how that will go.
