And three more before the above:

US$2100.00

US$2350.00

US$2392.00
http://cgi.ebay.com/Nikon-28mm-f-1-4-AF ... dZViewItem

So this lens would can now only be obtained by the well heeled.

My original purchase costs (Brand new): US$1250.00/ 24 months ago.

Wow. Makes the AI-S 35 f/1.4 look pretty attractive IMO!

Yes, if you can get it.
The last one on eBay I've seen it (35/1.4) at around AU$350.00, very good buy.
Better than you buy shares isn't it?

Birddog114 - not of interest for me.

Savings for something longer, and purchase well down the track :(

They must be working on an AFS version.

I find it strange that Nikon are willing to leave a hole in their fast WA lens line up.

But having said that, I own one, so i'm happy. And will be happy to upgrade...

Canon make photocopiers and stick lenses on them....

Buy it now as glass investment and sell it at the right time for the 300mm AF-S VR.

Quite frankly it's a very overpriced piece of glass and not worth the money unless you have a very narrow, specific use for it.

Matt.K,
Same as the Noct 58/1.2, anything becomes rare then it'll become overpriced, like your Volvo :shock: :lol:
