Check your latest Shutterbug magazine for pricing on this lens.  For the
second (current) version you might be right, but the first version is one of
those mystical collectibles.  Aspherical elements hand-ground by the ghost
of Oskar and all that ;-)

And BTW, I don't mean to get too usenettish on you or anything, but it's
spelled "lens".
