Hi Grant. Thanks for contacting me. My zip code is 92131 and a pickup would be great, thanks!

FedEx quote is so high it makes the purchase uneconomical - $USD400 -500.
I checked the USPS site and it says a box 12 x 12 x 12" @ 6lbs is too large to post.
Not to worry. Thanks for your help.

Wow, I had no idea. USPS Priority should be reasonable.
I'll check. What's your city?

Okay, so shipping to Australia is about $170 for Priority. It takes about 3-4 days. If you can pay $125, I'll pick up the rest.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks!

Hi, Sorry for the slow reply - time zone differences. I'm happy to to do that. If you want to reconfirm the shipping costs with the city name - Seaforth, NSW, 2092. I'll be a bit more diligent with checking for your reply.

No worries, it'll be close enough. My PayPal is [email protected]. I'll need a few days to sort through and gather the best box I can find so that it is packed safely.
Cheers,

Here's tracking: EY460655845US

It should take about 5 days. It is going Priority, but first it goes to Los Angeles. I'm not sure how it works, but we shall see.

I'll let you know when it gets here. Thanks for your help on this.
I tested this lens when they first came to market and was so impressed. I was trying to find a way out of the Sinar p3 at the time and the thought of shooting without camera movements was causing professional anxiety. They were stupid money here in Australia. As it turned out didn't stay with the Canon system long enough to justify getting one.

I only played with it and never really got around to using it. Everything is very smooth. The guy I bought it from said it was outstanding. I hope you enjoy it. The postman will pick it up here shortly.
