The Century lens is around $800.00. Sounds great if you can afford it. I just bought a 16:9 lens from a guy who acquired several from a dealer in Japan. It's an off-brand model lens but the glass is supposed to be really nice and I only paid $325.00. Write me if you're interested in hearing about my results.(posted 8941 days ago)John Brune http://www.geocities.com/~steadicamjr
