That should be "no" not "know. "What was I thinking? I guess I'm excited 
about getting the 85mmF2 back.

Do you mean the 250-600 f5.6? I didn't know there was an autofocus 135-600?

i own the screwmount version (same lens)
and its OUTSTANDING! Grab it for
that price, you wont be sorry.
BTW, It sold for $2000 U.S. way back
in the 70's. I paid $1000 U.S. for mine
but the screwmount version is more collectable 
I would think...

This is the same guy who has the mint 135-600 F6.7 lens complete with metal 
box. He's looking to sell it for about $1,200 Cdn. I am now considering 
buying it more as a collector lens than a user. This thing is HUGE, but it is 
certainly interesting. The autofocus version just happens to be in a store 
nearby for $9,000. It's not the same lens by any stretch of the imagination, 
but it would be interestingto own...
