Why would they stock even 1 lens ? If it was rubbish and the "fanbois" were going to bring it back anyway, then why would they bother to stock even one ? I've got a theory that you don't actually know what you're talking about here Wolfgang. But that theory can be easily disproved. Simply by your providing a sensible answer to my question. I won't hold my breath. michael adams .... michael adams ....
