Thanks all for making me see sense.
Temptation was getting the better of me. You don't often see them turn up with the hood intact.
I don't know how he's keeping that 100%?
@Andy - thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in mind.  and vice versa of course.

Rocky mostly sell separately lens and caps so if he get one negative for lens he get soon two positive for caps. This lens is rare opportunity take a risk in my opinion , he prices always low due bad reputation. Many people purchase from him crappy lenses, I was lucky with him I bought from him a few times always with happy ending. Certainly he has many good items and some bad ones , all depend from your fortune.

I've always been suspicious of this seller. This is from before I discovered this forum. He lists in USD but says that this is an error in the listing. He has been doing this for months. Why doesn't he change it ? He quotes an International Shipping rate to the UK. Ferndown is in the UK! It's about 200 km from London. As a matter of interest I contacted him yesterday asking for the shipping price for this item. I received a prompt and courteous reply - 3 GBP. Today the price is listed as 14 USD ~ 7.5 GBP.

I got burned by this seller a while ago, although it was on an inexpensive item, thank goodness. I have, however, seen others have good luck.
Sort of a gamble...but that would be a great lens to have...

Indeed a gamble... but now the price is rising so less attractive.
My previous experience with rocky has also been hit and miss so I'll pass it up this time.
there'll be other lenses.
