Tony-

just out of curiosity, which two dealers are you referring to? 

I'm assuming you mean Ffordes and Williams of Hove, and want to check
that I'm not missing something! (Fieldgrass & Gale?).

And while I'm asking, can I ask what lens it was that they said was so
hard to get? (Just oooozing with curiosity...).
