I guess so, last time I checked the price it was above US$200 at ePay.
It is not a bargain, but if its condition is good it is. The lens itself is
a good one, if you want to have a better one you have to go for a Leica's
Vario-Elmar 80-200/4. Their optical designs are very similar somehow.

Congrats Stanley!
This is a nice price if in good condition.
I sold mine (mint) for about $350.
It is a great performer and nice to have constant aperture zoom.
For me it is a zoom. I don't like the Phallic shape of this lens or many zooms really.
Poilu has used his more than I did before selling. Maybe he will give some better insight.

100% agree. I rarely use this zoom, only when I need 200mm (twice a year)
compared to jupiter9 - canon 85:1.8 - contax 85:1.4
