I agree, you did overpay by a bit.  You should do penance by selling it to me 
for what you think its worth. Please E mail me off-list for details.   :-)  
Or I can trade you for a slightly dinged 24/2??  There is this 10mm gap in my 
collection between the 80 macro and the 90/2.8 Sigma macro that needs to be 
filled up you see.

Last week I did find a 24/2 for $100. The filter ring was dented but the 
block of wood technique straightened it out enough to be usuable. But the 
diaphragm also is very sticky.  I've been watching this lens for about a year 
at $300 at a local show until the "new guy" moved the stuff around on the 
shelves and lowered the price by 2 bills.

I've heard to use no lube at all when cleaning the blades. I may send it to 
Hermanson to CLA this.
