Nikon 60mm f/2.8 D Micro

I'm very interested in buying one of these. gets excellent reviews from just about everywhere on the web.

Price in the UK is a bit off-putting. I can get it via Ebay from a trusty seller for about £200.

Anyone have one or know of a UK based e-tailer that has a good price please?

Not that could get close to that price, no.

Good lens, but I'd rather have a little extra length. 60mm is close for macro work.

It is, although the 50mm f/1.8 is as well and an uber-bargain.
