I don't think this lens' value is based on its performance, its based on extreme rarity and the price is a collectors thing which is nothing wrong with that but I doubt that you wont be able to find a really good 28mm for much less money if you just want a shooter lens.....

It will only get more expensive. @ 30mm it's an ideal normal lens for digital and it's one of the sharpest lenses you may ever own. It's sharper than my A35/2 and as sharp as my FA50/1.4. (With a few different characteristics, of course.) I currently use it pretty much exclusively for b&w. Collin
