Geoff,

Tony Rose is a great dealer who I trust . But business is business. I  
bought a new lens from him that was drop shipped directly from Hong  
Kong to me. It was advertised as used like new, but it was new. I  
don't have a problem with this at all. And I received the lens as  
quickly as if it were shipped from California.
