I read a really good review online at OpticalLimits about the lens and found a NOS available from Japan (at ebay) for just over $150. Hence, I gave it a try, and so far, it is similar but substantially smaller and lighter than the Nikon alternative (not the G one). If you find one, get one but be careful to order a version that still has the aperture ring.

Nice! The name of the lens just rolls off the tongue haha. I always like seeing good quality 3rd party lenses.

I’ll keep my eyes peeled, thanks for the tip!
Good luck!
