Hi Don, I had a couple of them, and they are wonderful lenses from many perspectives. They are also a bit rare, and maybe have some collector status. Build quality is superb (better, even, than my A*200/4.0 Macro) I sold one of mine on eBay recently for about the same price. IMO, considering a lot of lenses that are out there these days, and that the lens will work just fine on the Pentax DSLR's, it's worth every penny.
