I have one. I bought it from Ebay... almost new. A photographer in the US bought it from B&H, but he decided that the focusing was too slow and the noise was too high for professional purposes. So, he sold it. Got it at a good price, with hood some more.
Anyway, I have nicknamed this lens 'the wasp' because of the sound it makes. I like it a lot. I usually use it at night. It can open up quite wide, and at 35mm, I can handhold it at 1/40 very comfortably.
