Thanks (I think) for the post, Igor. I've been looking for a copy of this monster in reasonably good condition and at a reasonable price for my collection of A and A* primes. I pulled the trigger and ordered it from Adorama today. Who wants to volunteer to be my porter and carry it around? I currently have 25 A and A* prime lenses in hand (not including duplicates) and when this one arrives I'll have only the A*600/5.6 and the A*1200/8 left on my "wanted" list (not that I ever expect to get the last one; I've never even seen it for sale, and I suspect that it would cost as much as a new car...).
