Hi,

> Hi!  Slight correction.  The lens in question was a 50MM f3.5.

That's a pity, as I would have loved to get the 50/2 for that low a price :)

> Sorry if this caused any confusion.

No worries, I currently can't spend too much on lenses anyway, so in that
respect it's probably for the best that it's not the 50/2. :)

It's still a lovely lens, but I just bought one about a month and a half
ago, so I myself don't need one.

This squeak is an excellent argument for getting that price down to $150 -
$175 CND, just be bold, tell them the lens is not functioning 100% as it
should, and that you can buy 9+ samples on eBay for as low as $115. That way
you wouldn't be lying even, as I did indeed buy a 9+ sample (MC) for that
price, AND that included shipping :)

Give it a shot, you'll love this lens!

Cheers!
Olafo
