Harry Mayer (hmayer12) has one on eekBay for $350.00 mint also. I was very, very tempted but if I can fix this one and sell the 70-210 I should make out pretty well. If I like it as much as some do, a mint one can be had for around $250-$275 going by recent auction prices. Probably less if I wait a while, the nice ones like the SF-1n and ZX/MZ-5n have been dropping very rapidly in the last few months.
