No idea if £599 is a good price. The lens looks good:

I think someone sold one here not long ago for around £400 if I'm not mistaken.

The lens does look excellent and by all accounts its a very good performer but a new DA* 200mm f2.8 is only £46 more at SRS.

If I had the money I'd probably pay that for it too. Lucky I don't have the money come to think of it...

Ffordes also have a 1000mm f/8 for a fraction under a pound a millimetre.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
