"just served" would have been better though... ;-)
Thanks for the info Roger! Although I haven't met Ulf personally I made a deal
with him once last
year (exchanging 2-# focusing screens), and there was no problem there. I'm
sure also this Tamron
lens is a very good deal, but since I already have a Zuiko 300/4.5 (SC), a
Sigma 600/8 mirror and a
Zuiko 2X-A converter I'm not in great need of such a lens...
