Lol. It's around $1900 to $2200 AUD new, for the current version.
It's a design though. The 'push-pull' zoom sucks way too much dust into the insides of the lens (it has to be professionaly taken apart/cleaned/recalibrated every 3 years or so, depending on use).
Also, the consistency of their calibration is POOR, even new. This means that there are sharp copies of the lens, average coppies of the lens, and soft copies of the lens. Until you test it out, you have no idea what you'll get. Sharp copies are very hard to come by, and I've seen them sell for $2500 AUD second hand. And it's not often that people sell them. I know I wouldn't.
All of that adds up to "it needs to be re-done". |
haha I was just being facetious! lol
But yeah that blows . Hopefully they really do change it.
