Why, thank you, Chris. We'll see if we can work out the logistics offline.
Be advised, though, there are certain responsibilities involved. The Tamron SP
65B 400mm (sic) 1:4 LD (IF) BBAR MC lens is an extremely advanced instrument
and requires very specific care and maintenance. Specifically, it must be
removed from the case, taken outside and properly exercised at least twice
weekly. Said exercise consists of allowing appropriately selected light
photons to be introduced through the front element at velocity c while the
diaphragm mechanical linkages are cycled to their full travel. Capture used
photons. Repeat several times. Can you promise to do this, Chris?

Well, you could stash it with us Gary ... for the small fee of letting
me look at it ;-). It depends on how your itinerary goes, of course.
We live an hour's train ride north of London, a little longer by car.
We're also 20 minutes west of Cambridge, the same east of Bedford. We
have plenty of temporary storage space. I am sitting in my cellar
office, looking at my models of F16, Eurofighter and Tornado imagining
a sodding great lens between them ;-)
Email me directly for more details when you are ready.
Chris
