Yes, it was an April Fools joke. In some newsgroups, there is a tradition of writing April Fools postings. These are characterized by being typically slightly too good to be true, while still possible. A good April Fools posting keeps you guessing as to whether it actually could be true or not. I've always admired these, so I thought I might try my hand at it. A tip of the hat must go to Tom A for supplying the technical details. I hope I haven't offended anyone with this little jest. My apologies to those who wrote privately and expressed genuine interest in purchasing this lens. Happy Easter to you all! M. - -- Martin Howard, Grad.
