That's a good price. Of 12 samples in my e-Bay auction database, only
2 sold for less than US$200. One sold for US$175 and another sold for
US$125. The other 10 sold for US$212 and up.

Personally, I don't find the two-touch to be a problem. In fact, it's kinda
nice that the focus doesn't shift when you zoom. Just personal
preference, I guess?

A typical zuikoholic ploy to increase the lens collection! Works pretty
good in convincing the significant other, too, I hear! :-)
Hope I've been helpful...
