I did have my hands on one from a dealer over here for ?990 UK Pounds, however it had a very slight amount of oil on the aperture blades so I decided to return it for a full refund. Maybe I should have kept it, but it was playing on my mind. I am open to the 60mm version with the removable hood, I had one a while ago but sold it due to lack of use. I am in the market again as I wish to try one with my M8, having seen some great shots with that combination.
