This is the Black Dragon? One just sold in our marketplace for far less than the eBay listing. The seller is brand new, too...I'd be wary.

No description of the lens, photos obviously not taken by a photographer. Those two factors alone would keep me from bidding.

Nah, not me...I wouldn't have the patience required to get great shots out of that lens, even if I had $2k hanging around.
