Photo Time cameras in Melbourne sell FA* lenses and keep a few in stock. Camera Exchange has a FA*24/2 in there window for $650au, hood is scratched.
Michaels has an LX in there window for $1500au!!!!! also a F100mm Macro, FA50mmMacro and quite a few other decent lenses. Apparently the shops on Melbourne have been selling heaps of MZ-S's and quite a few people have been trading in LX's on them. the M135/3.5 might be worth considering, its slow, but optically excellent. The last 135/1.8 that i saw on ebay went for around $1800us.
