Frank & Company, just to clarify; the lens I have is new in the box
(steel case) with 2 keys and has never been used. The $3800 asking price
is less than the dealer cost of $4269, and the suggested retail of $7763.
Even the B&H guys don't have one of these! I doubt seriously if I had any
affect on the sale of the other person's lens. Paul.
