He he - a reasonable price is what yopu wnt to pay for it! I paid almost 300 USD for mine years ago. But as you know - Danish price are just very high an *ist D body costs something like 2667 USD. I'd say a fair price for an excellent-like new condition would be 150-200 USD. It is a nice lens. Not fast - but better than most lenses (KAF-mount) at similar speed. Optically it's one of the best in it's class (f4-5.6) at all. If you can live weith the slow speed, it's a good investment. You can have mine - I hardly ever use it. But I want 200 USD to part with it.

I wouldn't part with it for 3x that much today. It's a bit slow but it is very sharp and contrasty. Works very nicely on the *ist-D, and even though manual focus sucks compared to many other lenses it's still very usable on a LX.

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime. --P.J. O'Rourke
