Update:
I have been informed that Andrews sells the 17mm for $249 and not $300 as I originally posted (it was an honest mistake as the webpage showed $299/$349 on the top 1/3 of the page, then on the same page half way down it says $249. Anyway here is the weblink for your information)

Accordingly, the price of the EP is now
$155 including postage.
Apologies.
