Have you checked eBay?

<p>

I'd be very surprised if you get this lens anything <i>but</i> second hand. It's been discontinued for years.

But don't expect to get his lens cheap. Second hand prices often approach the last prices for a new lens.

There is one at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200150483513&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=010

 

but it ends in 2 hours...sorry.

 

at $900 (there about) currently.

 

typically I see them go around 1400-1600, at which point you might as well buy the new Sony 70-200 2.8 APO SSM for $1999...it's the same as the old Minolta, just rebadged.

No it's not the same. The black version was a very slow focusing lens. The white version is a high speed focusing lens, hence the HS designation. That's the reason the black one is only $900.

Thang, Nico meant the SSM.
