That's the prime I've got, proper wicked little thing. Have a nosey on eBay as I got mine a little cheaper than that from a pukka UK supplier.

I got mine on a BIN from a guy who had like 50 in stock. Prices may have gone up though due to the exchange rates etc. They were about £60 this time last year!

Snap, the Sony and Sigma ones are epic expensive, plus my next purchase will be a Sigma 10-20.

Neither have I really as it's all going on my cars. I can just about stretch to it at the end of this month though and I really want it for the summer.

Hey Stinko, I've got a 50mm prime here in Filton which you can borrow to have a play with, if you want.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Holiday cottages on the Isle of Wight for 2-10 people? PM me.
