ha ha

That time I got it from CP pay by cash. The lens is about $1700

In case you going to get it, go and try it first before decide to buy cos this lens is not easy to handle.

Don't bluff. I still remember yesterday when you shoot the spiders fighting, you keep looking at your camera LCD display and said "Yes. this is what I call marco ....".
