Panorama Tools has also distortion correction tools - not easy to use but quality is very good, and it's free.

Try buying one on Ebay. That's where I sold mine a few weeks ago.

If I remember right, there are some compelling reasons not to buy that lens, mostly due to its age and the improvements in technology in the newer lenses. I would research it thoroughly before buying.
