I have one that I bought new from B&H just before they were discontinued. As far as I can tell, its performance is as good as its reputation. Interestingly enough, it accepts the A2X-L teleconverter. The combination makes a 400mm F8 macro lens that goes 2 to 1.
Here's the kicker--I almost never use it. No time these days with a demanding job, two preschoolers, etc. So I'm thinking about selling it. It's pretty much mint (no marks on it that I can see), and I have the original box, soft case, etc. If you're interested , contact me off list.
I also have the A2X-L (purchased used), with caps and original hard case, but no box.
