MY fav FD for gh2 100mm f2.0

$900? Way over priced, imho. I bought mind for $150 at a local store. Nice and sharp, but don't get to use it much on the GH2 due to effective FOV of 200mm. My preferred FD for the GH2 is the 24mm f2.
 
I've had my eye on this one long ago thinking it would go great with my GH1 and now GH2. Perhaps I should try going to some local shop as well and maybe I'll be lucky.

I had one of those but sold it. Loved it on a tripod but that lens is so heavy and bulky caused alot of nasty wobble with handheld and or shoulder mount. the 100mm is nice and light..I can also fit my rotating 52mm UV filter on it. I also use it with my 24mm, 28mm and 50mm. ISO of 24mm f2.0!!
 
I've got one of these in decent condition. A tad of fungus on the very front element, though does not seem to affect image quality at all. Had the lens for a couple years and the fungus does not seem to be spreading. If anything there seems to be less than I originally remembered seeing. Focus turns buttery smooth and aperture is smooth with definitive clicks

Might be willing to sell it if the price is right.
