I just found it funny that the web site was .ua, that's all. $5K is more 
than the annual income of an average Ukrainian. There are of course rich 
people there, but their vulgar tastes do not include fine German optics--the 
bling factor is too low.

It does look like a mighty tasty lens, however.

Cheers,
Nathan
