I've heard very good things about that lens, and I even bid $400 for one on AuctionWeb a month or so ago. However, I was outbid on the last day by that canny collector, Marvin Moss! The 65/3.5 is an expensive lens, though, by comparison with the 100/4, which usually sells for about $350 in its bellows version. Still maybe one of these days I'll get one. - -Patrick
