Not $18,000. YEP, $1800 dollars because it had been used by several Leica photographers during the Games! Therefore used and that was in the special designed case. At the time I didn't have $1800 for a new lens at that amount so I had to pass on it. But brought home the 60 macro lens for $600.00! :-) Now if we only had time warp machines? :-) ted
