    KEH.com has two of em in stock right now.

    Of course for their price you could get a new 5D and a IS L lens after rebates.

    yeah i think $2500 is a bit expensive for a prime that you can get at f/1.8 for <$100.

    and the award for understatement of the year goes to ........

    got that from a review on fredmiranda.com. that is crazy silly coin to spend on a 50mm lens, no matter how good it is. for now, i think i will stick with my 28 1.8, 50 1.4, and 85 1.8 and be happy with that.

    dof has to be so shallow, i'm thinking that close portrait would be the only real use of that lens, how would you focus in a ride?

    have to focus on the closest thing and hope for the best.... wont be too bad if something is farther away, but if it's close, you aint gonna get much....

    it's nice... nice wide angle on ride then use the 50 and 85 to get the mid and tele angles..
