Agreed, but $8K to $12k ( can not find the original link right now..) for a 
lens is a bit high.... even for rich folk.  I could go looking, but I do not 
think that the competitive lenses ( 24 Nikkor F2 and others) would be half 
or even a quarter that high.  
Let's hope it was an error, and not in judgement......!

Weak dollar is a big part of the problem.
