I just noticed this ad on the local craigslist: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/pho/1070406549.html It's in Mill Valley (Marin County, a bit north of SF) I sent a note asking for details about the lenses. On the off chance that the Tokina is quite fast, or the 50 is a 1.2, I might be interested in one of them. Maybe somebody closer to the North Bay could pick it up and ship it to you for less than it would have cost to repair your MX, if that had been possible.
