Unlocker · 12-03-2011, 04:17 PM

Paid £1500 for mine with no case in December and thought I'd got a bargain!

Would you be sitting online in a camera forum if you just got that lens for $170?

None-the-less, still also waiting on photographic confirmation. Maybe the OP took it to get a professional product shot layout to rub it in our faces, hence the delay!

WOW!

Maybe he got arrested for it when the people at the estate sale found out how much it was worth?

Or maybe it was all a dream .... and then he woke up.

Perhaps he has a life and isn't sitting in front of a monitor all day? Or better yet, he's out shooting with his new lens!

Sure

when I see a photo with todays newspaper next to it I'll believe it. The "F" isn't as expensive as the "FA" but it would be worth $5500.oo In very good condition.

+1. (The price of this lens is well documented on the web and this forum.)
