I paid full price, $1649 at CameraWorld February/10/1999. Over the counter.
I figerered i might get use to the looseness of the F stops.
But I'll have it tightened up eventually.
Or complain about it a lot.
I think one of my M6's the lens does not focus right on.
One is an older Classic, the other a newer TTL.
