Thanks I did see that one was hoping for a better deal without all the bidding.
Still looking.

good luck, i think that is more rare than the F-28/2.8, which I used to own =(

yes you are right as I have seen more than a few F-28/2.8 but only a couple Fa-28/2.8 including the one on ebay. Still looking for anyone on the forum that may have one.

another one is going to end within 24hrs, I think it will be more/less $300 in the end.

The F version is optically ~~better~~ different than the FA version.

have not used/seen the FA, but the F I was very happy about it, sad to let it go, when I still had it was served as the camera's body cap
