Why do people keep asking me what version it is, its clearly specified in plain English! Now do you really think if it were the WR version I'd be selling it that cheap????? Do i really have to write in bold caps "NOT WR" and "NOT DAL" and "NOT Version II"? or can people just understand its version 1 as properly named!

People may be asking because not all sellers are necessarily thorough, and may forget or choose not to specify a version (and I'm not talking about this forum necessarily). The fact that this lens has four versions makes it important (to me) that a seller help potential buyers out by being a completist and even specify it's version 1, because omitting that seems to have created some room for doubt. I can see why the price is such that buyers may think that this could be a DAL, and there's always the faint hope that a major bargain is slipping through some inattentive seller's hands (not you), so I understand why someone may even want to check if this is not maybe a WR version. There's no pics, and I realize that the effort for the money makes it a pain to add pics, but I'd rather have people ask questions than guess (or hope!) and be unhappy afterwards.
