I've seen this lens being sold for S$350 at a photoprocessing shop. Retailer says its his last piece. Brand new. Any comments on this deal?

Boy oh boy...if it's "brand new" c/w Cathay Photo's warranty..it's a steal. Using one on my minolta..fine lens..heavy though..but what to expect..it's a f2.8.

The price is too low. I brought one in 96/97 and cost ~$900. I don't thinks the price can drop to $350. You may want to call Fotoguide or Cathay Photo to check the price before buying.
