85mm f1.4, best place to buy?

Postby Grev on Wed Dec 17, 2008 10:16 pm

Where can I get this lens for a good price? I checked a few places and at the moment the cheapest is $1400 at the moment. Does anybody know which places have these in stock that I can get straight away?

Teds Cameras and D-D photographics are worth a try in Brisbane, got mine at D-D. $1300 - $1400 about right though

I bought it from Teds, got it for $1399, and I am VERY happy with it since I bought a D700 as well, goes amazingly well with it.
