wow super hot deal!

I wish it was for Nikon too. I rarely do macro, but at this price, it will be good to have one around.

Edit: Ennnnnnnd it's gone

Not the latest generation but good overall rating and very good sharpness rating. Focus limit switch. Quality of construction is maybe the chief complaint - feels cheap or plasticky.

Oh the RFD effect!! I did not need to see this right now..... great price for a true macro.

Damn, see, I don't check RFD for twenty min and I miss a deal like this. Super hot deal for Sony / Minolta shooters.

I have a Sony A mount body and totally would have ordered this. If anyone got one and has second thoughts, please PM me, I will pay 20 extra for your trouble.

Resellers probably... this lens could be resold for $300 cash in the blink of an eye.

EDIT Actually, I'm not so sure - Amazon.ca is selling it for $336 and Sony A mount stuff is unpopular and hard to sell these days.

Yup, this is only for Sony A mount (old Minolta). Most of you guys didn't miss out on anything you could have used.

It will work with E-mount with a super expensive adapter (I think the adapter costs around $500 for the AF Sony version, kinda kills the deal.)

It will not work with Canon due to differences in lens mount distances.

Got my lens in today. Haven't opened it yet. Just checked to see that it sells for $526 on Amazon and on sale for $460 at Henry's.

In the U.S., both B&H and Adorama sell it for $499.

So for $163, I'm very satisfied. 6 year warranty. Now the only issue is I need to learn macro shooting but I've read up before that this lens is great for portraits too.
