That is an awesome deal. I paid $100 more for it a few years back. it's one of my sharpest lenses, if not the sharpest! gorgeously made, all-metal barrel.

That's not from Amazon directly but rather a store called DavisMax.

I'm well aware. For $433 I took a chance. Lens was shipped overnight, free. Flawless. YMMV.

If you don't care about the warranty, there are better sellers on eBay with similar price. Plus you get to use PayPal as a security major in case something went wrong.

Personly, I would pay an extra $50 and get it from an authorized seller if I was buying it new.

The DFA 100/2.8 WR is an excellent lens, one of my most used. I paid $500 grey market, <$500 aurthorized dealer is killer deal good eye Ledave!

Amazon ran out of their own stock. Now another third party is selling it being fulfilled by Amazon.

Adorama still retains the $528 price tag. - But comes with a free New Leaf 3 year warranty, covering drops and spills.
