Can't agree it is overpriced, you should know the same lens from
original manufacturer is usually double the one from third party, it
is true since 1980 to now. And a lens of larger aperture (0.5 to one
stop) will double the price again (or even more). See the price of
28/2 and 28/2.8 and 24/2 and 24/2.8, 100/2 and 100/2.8, they are more
than double! That means it should be at least four time the price of a
Tamron or Tokina, roughly say $700 is a fair price. BTW, who have a
90/2 macro on earth?
