for sale: Tokina 80-200mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro (N-AF mount)

Hi all,
as is customary, I tend to post here before ebaying something..


Anyone interested in buying a Tokina AT-X Pro 80-200mm f/2.8 zoom telephoto lens in Nikon AF mount?
Looking for AUD$650 or near offers..

Example photo taken with it: http://flickr.com/photos/wintrmute/2254645706/

It's a beast of a lens, but weighs about 1.6kg and doesn't fit in any of my bags, and I think I'll replace it with a 180mm f/2.8 prime or a 70-300mm VR zoom. (The 180mm Nikkor ED is verrry nice.. Borrowed one over the weekend.)

Accidental irony

Every time I start Rhythmbox, it says that some music could be loaded because I'm missing the codecs for it..
The music required is in VQF format, a codec that was briefly popular then died. The music is now effectively unplayable. Luckily, it's only an album that I don't care about.

So, which album was encoded (by me) in this now-dead format? "Obsolete" by Fear Factory.
