It had 8 elements in 7 groups; 77mm filter size; weighed 2.9 lbs; came with tripod collar & close focused to 8.2'. the last time we had one it was "grey market" and sold new for US $829.95. -- regards, Henry Posner Director of Sales and Training B&H Photo-Video, and Pro-Audio Inc. http://www.bhphotovideo.com * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
