Yow! I thought I got a deal at $150 for my 35/1.8. Someone had some good karma stored up 🙂

That shouldn't bug me, but it does.

Heh, didn't recognise that as him but, yeah, it doesn't surprise me. He's certainly very good at finding those kinds of things. It won't leave him too cheaply either. Good for him!

Don't worry you'll see it advertised for what, 4x ? the purchase price very shortly.

The lens must have been very clean since Kevin's items are very clean.

I've paid more but my lens looks better too

Kevin gets duds on eBay, too. I've read that he'll sell them off cheap if you call them -- he doesn't "contaminate" his website with them. This is part of the costs that contribute to his markups.

I suspect he didn't bid more than about $125, the outside of this lens is filthy, the aperture numbers are yellow (smoker?), and the front rim is banged up pretty bad.
