I paid about $370 for the one I have. It's a very good lens and I thought very light and compact for it's focal length. It balances well on just about all of the bodies that I've used it on but especially well on an LX. On an MZ/ZX body all of the weight will defiantly be in the lens. My PUG submission this month was taken with it.
