Olaf,
I am sorry. I emailed the seller, and told him that I knew who would
appreciate his lens and asked him to reply to me with details on
conditions etc. His reply was "sorry, the lens went for [the
equivalent of] $975".
That is a good price for the lens, so I understand why he took the offer.
Good luck finding another one - I'll keep my eyes open, and if I see one
somewhere, I'll let you know.
Sorry again - but at least I tried...
