But there's more than one of them, the one I cited was the strangest, but damn. Some unfortunately are after the same lens I'm looking for and it's really annoying when two hit the same auction and I watch the lens bid out of sight, by people who've managed to snag two or three in the previous month. I understand collecting but when someone seems to be trying to collect every unit? I think nut job fails to explain it adequately.
