I got it for $160 from a member on dpchallenge.com. The lens is in perfect condition. She even included the hood, lens bag, original packaging and all paperwork!!! Can't wait to go shooting! Of course it's raining today. :(

I still find it's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but it's not hideously soft.
