I've also found this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/LEICA-LEITZ-Elmarit-R-f-2-8-135-mm-Lens-with-LEITZ-Box_W0QQitemZ230222806745QQihZ013QQcategoryZ3341QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://tinyurl.com/ypjcld It is not as mint as this on ebay, So the price a little bit high when compare. (I think ) Unfortunately I can not buy from ebay but I think I can get more discount from dealer. ;-) Thanks for you information Best regards Ali Yazdi
