RE: [OM] USD1100 for a Zuiko 90mm f/2 macro?

[andrew fildes]

Hi Dan
You're a POOR student and you are looking to purchase a 90/2 and T20 
rig. That's a joke, right?
The Phototrader is sent out to subscribers a few days before it is 
generally distributed - by the time it hits the newsagents, the 
bargains are long gone (and a 90/2 at AU$900 is an effing bargain!).
Shooting from a car - on another list I'm on, there is a guy who 
specialises in this but he does slow and streaky arty night shots 
using a home-made dashboard bracket and a cable release. Results are 
definitely in the 'accidentally good' category but some are very good 
(if you like that sort of thing).
Could you drop the rest of us Australians on the list a note letting 
us know exactly when you are out on the road - so that we can get off 
it?!
