$90 is a steal at just under 1/2 the price for another one that
recently ended: Minolta Maxxum AF 50mm f/1.7 lens fits Sony A100 5D
7D Item number: 230247799402 - Acutally $90 is under what they are on
average finishing at today. Or we can look at the beercan that went
for $457....Item number: 260238179335
