A really good friend of mine in the UK is selling some of his gear on ebay, and asked me to help - I can totally vouch both for him (check out his ebay rating) and his description of the gear (and the prices seem quite allright, also :) ) :

Have a look, it's worth it.

Most of the stuff is gone.
There are a few items (Elinchrom Ringflash 3000 an A3000N Head, a Manfrotto tripod and a PW Minitt1 for Canon) in open auctions that are ending in 2 days so you should really check them out (ridiculously low bids, at the moment).

Up.
Elinchrom goodies at ridiculously low bidding levels, with just a few hours left on the open auctions.

After everything else has cleared, the lenses have now been listed in an open auction, open to USA, EU, Australia, Canada and Japan ; so in 10 days from now they will have a new owner :) :

There is a minimum opening bid of 2500 GBP - for items well in excess of 8000 GBP ; again, these superb Zeiss Hartblei Superrotator lenses (latest versions, with a ton of accesories) are really hard to find on the second hand market, I've learned this the hard way :))) (I had to buy mine new, as I couldn't find anything on the SH market last year, when I bought mine - I have the same 40 and 80, and I'm tempted to consider a second set as backup, they are that good on my D3x :)))) ).

The auction will end in less than 24 hours, and probably one of the watchers will snatch these at the last minute, at absolute bargain level. I'm surprised I haven't seen more action on these babies - the minimum bid is incredibly low : 2500 GBP for 8000+ GBP lenses is really not much ; it's a little bit more than what the 80 costs, and half the cost of the 40mm alone, so you get 2 lenses + 800+ GBP worth of useful / high quality accessories for the price of 1 lens / or 1/2 lens , depending on how you're counting, for that minimum bid alone ; getting a set of 2 Canikon similar FL ts-pc lenses will set you back pretty much the same amount as the minimum bid, and these lenses are in another league both in terms of functions, build quality and sheer IQ ; also the minimum bid for these 2 Zeiss Hartblei lenses + 850GBP+ accessories (6 Heliopan filters, Nikon-Canon adapters, Pelican case etc) is a little less than what just 1 Schneider pc lens would cost, without anything added to it. So don't let that minimum bid requirement fool you, it's a whole lot of bang for the buck. Really, guys (and girls :) ) , it doesn't get any better than this :) :
