Bought it from a seller in Oregon, then had to spend a pile of money to CLA it (which the seller was more than happy to pay for, I am happy to report). The hood is awful on mine, but the optics are quite good. I think its another case of calling a not bad lens a dawg simply because there is a better one available. Even my 75mm, which does have it's problems, churns out extremely sharp and contrasty images. I just have to be careful not to point it at the sun.
