Someone will buy it. Really? Blimey. I probably still have the box too. What's it worth as spares/repair? >> Don't suppose you ever see the first edition metal version cheap? > > Define cheap.

If you get a metal one for that, I'll take it - assuming good condition etc. >> or even the 1.4 if the price is right. > > �200 min if the seller knows what they are selling.

Probably up to £30 assuming you can still manual focus it. Is it whirring on AF but not moving? > >> Don't suppose you ever see the first edition metal version cheap? > > > > Define cheap.

It tries to AF, but something inside has obviously moved out of place, so it's catching, making the AF bounce, like it's hunting. You can feel it when you manually focus - which works fine. If I could figure out how to open it up, I would.... -- Dnc
