Too late, the price went up years ago. I believe I paid about $140 when I bought mine. I since sold it which I now regret.
If you get a good copy, the lens is really outstanding. Just be careful when purchasing as the aperture blades are sticky on some copies (basically, they get stuck!) which requires removal and cleaning. I had to do this with mine and it was in mint condition. I believe I ended up using graphite on the aperture mechanism and after a bit of exercise, all was fine. So, the optics are superb but the build quality leaves a little to be desired.
