I got a good deal on the sale, bought it second hand for $260 over a year ago with filter and hood and sold it today at a local shop here in Prague for $430 (current exchange worked for me this time!). Yes, you read it right ...$430; brand new one here costs $680.

Anyway, reason for selling is to buy the 100mm for more distance (will buy used one from sell forum). But for some reasons, I feel bad letting it go. First I'm scared about a lot of comments being heavy and may not get the same results with hand held shots like 60mm. Now that I am doing my homework ... seems like I need to buy other stuff to go with it like ring light and expensive tripod collar . I am just a hobbyist, do I really need these? I have a decent tripod and monopod, btw.
Well too late now, my sharpie lens is gone... make me feel better/worse, anyone? 
), so I can use it both for FF and crop.
