I bought this lens only recently (mid-Feb '06) when I managed to an eBay auction. It's a used lens and I was quite surprised because there don't seem to be many lens bargains around - too many people get auction fever and bid too much. When the lens arrived, it was in excellent condition - could have easily passed for new so I'm happy.

The FM user reviews give this lens an excellent rating, but I'm still waiting to find out - haven't seen the sun in weeks and, as I write, it's snowing again. :(
