Thank you. I thought so as well since most of these nowadays seem to be listed for $500-600 each. Here is the seller's description:
"The lens is in great shape with absolutely minimal internal dust and no scratches on the front or rear optics. No fog, haze or element separation. Shutter speeds are good and the PC sync port works perfectly to trigger strobes. The lens terminals that tell the camera to go into LS mode also work perfectly on this lens, which is quite rare on the used market.
Please review the photos to judge the cosmetic condition of this lens for yourself."
Hoping for the best!

Just picked up the 645 FA 200mm f 4.0 on eBay for $206.00 and free freight, including caps, hood, and UV filter. I already have the A version of this lens, but Pentax Forum reviews rates the FA version much higher than the A version for some reason--we'll see. Here is the seller's description:
"The lens has little wear with only slight scuffs on the barrel. The glass is in perfect condition with no dust, scratches, haze, or fungus of any kind and the coating is intact. The lens auto focus system works perfectly in its smoothness and speed. Included with the lens are both end caps with a tether on the front cap, lens hood and UV filter. The overall appearance and functionality are excellent. Please refer to the photographs on this listing for specifics."
I think this will be a great bargain if it is as nice as described, but then you never know until you know for sure!
