I'm just not getting time to use this beautiful lens, so my loss is once again going to be someone else's gain.
I bought the lens in October of last year from DWI with the intention of getting involved in macro work. But other commitments have just not left me with the time to do that. Literally, it has taken less than two dozen snaps. So it's pointless just having it sat there on the shelf doing nothing. It may as well be in someone's arsenal taking the great pics it was meant for.
Reviews for this lens are fantastic all over the web ....

A bit of techie stuff taken from the DWI website adds ...
Medium telephoto lens with a macro feature for 1x magnification. Fluctuations in spherical aberrations caused by focusing are suppressed and high-quality images are obtained at all focusing distances. With eight aperture blades good background blur is obtained even when the aperture is decreased by one or two stops. A focusing limiter which limits the magnification to 0.25x is built-in.
I really regret having to say 'Adios Amigo' to this lens, but it has to be.
Grab this as-new lens for just $445, - and I'll throw in shipping for a flat charge of $10 within Australia. Reduced from $470
yep, you're right, it is cheap. But I'm just not using it so I'd rather someone got to use it. As it is, someone else spotted a deal too, and its now 'Sale Pending'.
