Bruce, Your right, $500 for an A 400/5.6 is a good price. I'd buy it, but I already have one. <g> Still, for anyone looking to 'reach out and touch someone'... this is a great lens.
I bought mine locally about 2 hours before the opening game of Football (American Football) about 7 years ago. KEH had one in their catalogue and the local shop wanted more for theirs. I offered them the KEH price and they took it. As the local guy backed out the taxes from the total price and wrote the deal up. I hurried off to the game. I've never regretted picking up the lens. Much longer lenses get heavy and expensive. The faster A 400/2.8 is outrageously expensive, too expensive for me to take anywhere and use. And the results from putting a 2X-SA or 1.4X-SA teleconverter on an A*300/4 just aren't as satisfying. Regards, Bob S. [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > Nope. Exactly like the one you bought.
