$25 would be for a wire transfer. My bank will issue a bank check for $1.
I mail it to Australia (just mailed one yesterday), as long as you put $1 in
postage and write airmail, it gets there in 4-7 days. They ship back.
Total time is a good 3 weeks, but it works. I bought my 300/4.5 and 38/2.8
shift from Australia and, hopefully, will (through the help of a list
member) buy, soon, a 90/2 Macro.
