You have the "second" version, with built in hood....GREAT lens, 
VERY heavy, but beautifully constructed....I had one for years, 
should've kept it....just to look at!!!---my new 90 f2 is just as 
good, and half the weight, tho...
$950 US would be OUTRAGEOUS, even in MINT condition..don't know about 
other countries, tho.....I sold my near mint 
one for $650, which is about the going rate...
I saw a "user" recently on here (beat up, nice glass) for less than 
$500, I think $450 maybe?

Best to U and URS, 
Walt
