According to the source site that I provided this lens was release in the year 1994 and worth 6 million yen. Imagine if this can be made with AF-S function I can't imagine how much it will cost now days. I wish some day I get a chance to see and touch and take a shoot with this lens. Just amazing. By the way this lens is also made in a limited number only so only few have this lens and according to some reading that I saw in the internet, some of the people who buy this lens bought this just for model or display purposes only.
