Yes, somebody snapped it up.
I couldn’t afford it, so hopefully somebody on here got it!

KEH got another one in, and get this...

It's $1,000 less than last year's (this thread). For an EX+ condition. WITH the dedicated case.

I paid ~$3k for mine also in Aug 2021, and thought I was getting it for a steal.
A year later for one to be available <$2k is astounding.

Of course, I've taken at least $1,000 worth of photos with this thing already, so it's hard to feel sad, but man someone's about to come away with a screaming good deal here.

Edit: I almost want to buy it as a 2nd, but what the heck am I doing and why would I do that.

Edit #2: it was gone <45 minutes after posting the link.

I recently acquired one for 500..600$....Good condition at MPB europe: the lens hood had serious paint loss, scratched but not dented, and fully functional.
Actually I thought that only pentax 560mm yielded 1000’s of $...

My experience with this kind of superteles like 500mm lenses, including zooms like Bigma’s (1)50-500mm, is that you have to decide fast. If they are more than one day listed, you’r lucky. Else, the buyer is lucky .
