Help finding a lens

[froyd]

Disclaimer: I placed a WTB ad on RFF regarding my lens search.

I've been searching for a lens (Skopar 50/2.5 in chrome) with no success for a little while and I wanted to check whether anyone has tips and suggestions on where to look.

This is what I've done so far:

- WTB ads on RFF and GetDPI (with regular bumps on the latter)
- Saved search on Ebay with email updates
- Ran the GearSnapper search engine weekly
- Emailed Japan Camera Hunter to help me source the lens abroad
- Inquired at the Matsuya store about availability
- Checked KEH, BH, Adorama (in case GearSnapper search engine missed something)

I see... you won't reveal your sources, uh? Very noble, but I have ways to make you talk. <evil laugh>

Try ffordes.co.uk and leicashop.com?

I missed this on your list of things done so far...🙂

Picked up the White Pages from every city in America and called each and every number asking if they happen to have the mentioned lens...😀😉

Good luck...I hope you finally find what you want and really like it when you get one...😎

Did you try contacting this guy? Doesn't look like it ever sold:

You could send Igor a note. He doesn't show one in stock, but he seems to be a resourceful fellow.
