This might be more appropriately placed in the dvinfo eBay thread down the bottom but I have put it here because the listing is hidden away in an obscure corner in "all" and not found in "camera and lenses".

This is not intended to promote eBay but as a heads-up for anyone chasing a Super16mm lens set. I have not bought from there since I was taken down by a shaky vendor.

The seller seems to be a rental house, so lenses may not be in too great a shape.

I have the complete set and am very happy with them, but they do require particular maintenance, which I paid for even as I bought them brand new from the US importer.

Whoever gets post-rental ones... their mileage will vary...
