Hi Winston in Perth, That's quite a good price for Aus.. I remember not too long ago there was an MZ S with grip for AUD1100 and I thought that was a deal. If you do somehow choose to abandon your new *ist to scrounge up enough for the MZ S though, I think you'd want to skip that lens.. it's not worth near the $419 in your calculation- you're better off (much) with the sigma 28-70 2.8 for i think about USD299 from b&h and it's just low enough that you don't have to be very deft to avoid the import duty.. :) Cheers, Ryan (in Brisvegas)
