andybarton Posted April 1, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 1, 2009 I doubt whether that kind if information is available. It's difficult to tell the age of a lens post 1999, let alone where it was sold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stereohans Posted April 3, 2009 Share #9 Posted April 3, 2009 All of you are madly wrong! James was that Frederick Chalmersly-Smythe to trade in the damaged Contax lens. Before those poor people at the store could detect the bloody betrayal he changed his name, his face, his age and - most important - his camera system. Today he uses Nikons and scratches some Canon lenses for fellow photographers Greetz, Hans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
