Thanks for the link. While the Kobalux at $495 plus the VC finder would push it up to some $300 higher than the VC 'package' with finder, it still may be the better "buy" (and still within my budget). Any comments on the overall quality - mechanical "build quality" as well as the optical performance? I am more than tempted by this lens, so c'mon guys, don't swoop down on it (!)
