p.1 #1 · Where to search for lenses?

I'm trying to buy a Tamron Macro 52en and can't seem to find one anywhere on the planet.

B&H doesn't have one, Keh, craiglist, photo.net or ebay either. I've posted a few WTB adds around and no response.

Any ideas where I might find one?

It's just not that popular of a lens so it'll be hard to find. You just have to keep checking those sites. Why does this lens appeal to you specifically?

If the OP tells you then everyone will want one and the lens will be that much harder to find.

It is a quite old design. I found one a few years ago in Germany, tried it and didn't buy it. Almost any other more recent design is a better choice (the last two Tamron designs, a Sigma, Nikkor old or new), providing 1:1 magnification, and better IQ.
