No BIN on this lens when I saw it. Usually the BIN notice stays on the
listing even when someone bids or the reserve is exceeded; they just put a
notice that says BIN no longer available. There was an auction a few months
ago (not in the history anymore) offering a 350/2.8 *with* a 1.4xa converter
for $1350. I hesitated for two minutes... maybe not even two minutes, to
figure out if I could get a cash advance on the CC, and when I went back
someone had nabbed it. I did get the guy's OM4T and FP280 flash for $350
though... the camera needs a CLA, the flash is fine. Came with a "Made in
Japan" 50/1.8 too. I still kick myself for not getting the 350...
