I too am keeping an eye on this lens. If I wasn't getting married in 5 months.. and saving up for a k-5, this would be snapped up in an instant!

A free bump for you. It's really a great lens, I just got it recently. Shame it hasn't sold yet...

Price has dropped AU$100 already. If no-one wants it at this price now, I'll just wait until the dollar drops. At 85-90 US cents, AU$750 will look attractive.

.

This lens is an incredible performer, very sharp even wide-open, possibly the best bokeh I've seen in a zoom. In fact, I was just thinking tonight how nicely it would go on a K-5



Here are some shots from my old copy (from this thread.)

Come on someone, buy the damn thing! Ben needs the dough for the gym membership needed so he can tote the behemoth he's bought.

Great lens, BTW, along with the FA77/1.8 ltd a classic in this mount.
