I have one of those up for sale for $500usd. Wish i woulda known earlier that you were lookin!
well for $70 more i get a brand-new lens and warranty....the good thing for sellers is that the lenses hold their value, but that's a bad thing for buyers when the delta between used and new is so small.

you replacing it w/ the f/2.8?

Ya, i usually buy new for the warranty. There is barely any perceivable difference in cost. That said I have 5 offers already on it, would just prefer to sell to someone I know.

And ya, replacing with with a 2.8 that I have been spacing on for a year. Just been too lazy/cheap to actually get an order together.

Looks like Narlus has a restraining order against him from someone.

At least he can still take their picture.
