I want a Voigtlander 125mm APO-Lanthar f/2.5 Macro, but can't find one.

This is a bit of a long shot, but does anyone know what a guy's gotta do to get his hands on a Voigtlander 125mm APO-Lanthar f/2.5 Macro lens for the EOS mount? The bloody Nikon mount versions are more common, and I'm tempted to grab a Nikon-EOS adapter and just buy one, but I'd love to get an EOS native version.

Goodness gracious I want one of these. It's the hope that I might find this lens somewhere that is keeping me from buying a 135L and 100 Macro. I feel like I'm scouring the entire planet for a copy of this gem!

Where do some of you folk go to find lenses like these?

Thanks for the link! Damn...that's tempting.

Wtf, I live in Hong Kong for half the year and I have no idea how these folk there get their hands on all this crazy, rare, exotic stuff.
