Such a rare occurrence to see this excellent lens showing up, like probably once a year. Very limited production, stellar image quality and sell your kidney kinda price.
Marcus, Ben, Fengwei... aren't you guys gonna go for it? I'm buying Toto today... :bsmilie:

FA* 200mm f/4 Macro
 

:lovegrin: :eek: :bigeyes: US$3845.00 ! :sweatsm:
 

well... im sure there are plenty of pentaxian millionaires out there with a few ferraris in their garage... this probably cost nothing to them...

His F*300mm also kinda on the high side...:dunno:

i oni owned a ferrari lego set... so not for me... :bsmilie:
 

I have no doubt this is a legendary macro lens..... but for this price can get the full set of FA limited + DFA 100mm macro WR, all new, and still have a bit of $ left over! Just the thought of that.... :sweat: But I guess if you're truely passionate about macro, can start sellling everything else and show hand for this one. :devil:

He certainly knows how to write.
The 1.7x teleconverter is also selling at a very high price.
I need to tell him, it can be gotten new at a much lower price :D

For such a big amount, I don't really need to check my bank account balance. I know it's too far to reach, especially after I just signed the big loan form from HDB :cry:

HDB Loan is quite Ok. Some uses Bank Loan, that one more problematic.
 

haha... so exp.. but isnt that the typical price for leica lenses?
 

-_-
i'm juz saying the price..

after all, photography equipment is only as useful as the cameraman...
 

That's way too expensive, esp. for hobbist like us.
