Hi Matt,
Ex ChCh boy here
hope the Box get slaughtered today
NZ$1800.00 for a 12" you can get them here for AUS$799.00. I know
the exchange rate will make a difference. Perhaps you should check
out Andrews Communications in Sydney and see what he can do
shipping one to you. Or perhaps get someone here to check freight
costs for a 12" and get them to get it for you. You might find for
NZ$1800.00 dollars you can get a 12" as well as a nice Tele Vue.
My advice go for the biggest aperture you can afford. Dont go the
125mm Mak.
Cheers,CS
