Organising buyers for a job lot of 100 lenses would be a big project. I need to find some from the original batch. Is anyone aware of any of these lenses being available in excellent/good used condition. I have been searching around but have not found any listed with dealers or on E-Bay. I am sure that they will be expensive. Any leads would be most appreciated.
