German Fotomagazin makes a FOMAG Liste with estimated price of most photographic equipment. The FA*2.8/200 is supposed to cost 610 Euros/USD, the A*4.0/300mm about 700 Euro/USD, the FA* 2.8/300 about 2500 Euro/USD (no listing for the A* 2.8/200mm). But shouldn't it be in the nieghbourhood of 600 Euros/USD Regards Jens
