I believe Tas should be next. You could try contacting him.

I did. Tas opted out, and suggested it should go overseas (see post #383).

So who would like the lens next? As Tas and KrisK10D indicated the lens should probably head off to other parts of the world after its long holiday in Australia.

Then either HouseOfHorla or jsherman999. Wherever it lands next, it'll probably spend some time on that continent, to cut delivery costs.

Hong Kong is the closest country with someone on the list. And it's on the way to Euro from Aust.

[netuser]

Since it's going to be in Europe soon, I hope someone will ship it to me

[KrisK10D]

If i remember the map right, you're on the way from UK to US?

[netuser]

If i remember the map right, you're on the way from UK to US?

On a straight line, yes.
But I can also receive from UK or other european country and send "back" again to another european country.
Let's give this lens a tour in Europe

Shipping from UK to me it's the same cost (at least on ebay ) that ship to other european country.

[elkarrde]

Let's give this lens a tour in Europe

oh, that would be nice!

[ftpaddict]

oh, that would be nice!

Hell yeah it would!

I wish I could give netuser the lens personally. But that would make shipping cost ~$700 :ugh:

[netuser]

Hell yeah it would!

I wish I could give netuser the lens personally. But that would make shipping cost ~$700 :ugh:

That would be OK with me

[ftpaddict]

If you pay the shipping, I'm there.

[netuser]

If you pay the shipping, I'm there.

Keep dreaming

No response from HouseOfHorla, so it will be on its way to Jay next.

[lbam]

Ok, so who's gonna be the first to mount this lens on a K-7?? (and take a picture of it mounted).

Keep up the good work guys, and uploading to Flickr

[KrisK10D]

No response from HouseOfHorla, so it will be on its way to Jay next.

Did steVo_k200d not want to play either?
