I am reviving this old thread as I finally took the plunge and have a new lens on pre-order.

I hate selling stuff.

However, the offer still stands. If anyone in this wee lil' A/V community wants to get into the 2.35 CIH game, this might be a financially advantageous opportunity for you. I haven't even figured out how much to ask for the lens (prob about 50 cents on the dollar of purchase price). I'm not in a hurry. If you're interested, shoot me a PM.
