I have the lens right here, and use it every now and then. It definitely looks like it traveled a lot.
I planned on babysitting it until someone wanted it, but it's been a while, I'll just drop a PM to Drivingback.

Has been a while since I had the lens in my hands back in 2009.

Has been a while since I have been on the forums as well ... life has happened in the background. But meaning to get back into photography again (especially with baby number 3 due shortly).

Want the lens? It's been mostly sitting here recently.

Hmmmm ... this is a tempting proposition .... and we could get this kicked off again with some more interest as well.

Why not ... I'll PM you the address details.

...if it coming this way again, maybe yes, I'll think about it, not sure.

I've already had it once or twice--forget which and too lazy to review the thread that closely. I would love to see it moving again, and I will volunteer to put my name on the list to get it moving again.

This is also my second time with the lens and I've basically been sitting on it until someone stepped up. Lens will be sent to Mechan1k as soon as I can get a good box and some bubblewrap.

To get the travelling list built back up again, please put my name down. However, priority should go to anyone interested in Australia before sending back to the fruited plains and mountain majesties.

Next in line for the Nifty 50

Australia
beachgardener (tentative)

USA

yes maybe, haven't decided yet, but don't send to me until someone after me in Australia

Mechan1k · 08-09-2017, 03:06 AM

That's cool ... just put the list up there to get the interest going again ... and see if we can get this rolling along.

Giklab · 08-16-2017, 06:45 AM

Life happened so I couldn't send the lens until today, but it is safely on its way now.

Complete with terrible handwriting and wrapping skills!

Mechan1k · 08-16-2017, 01:27 PM

That's OK ... no rush here.
Still waiting for my replacement hotshoe for my flash to arrive from the US anyway.

**pepperberry farm** · 08-17-2017, 06:59 AM

I'm up for a second go-round with the TNF; I'll go on the list after Ivan (USA)...
